Van Dijk sends message to Liverpool fans about exciting January signing

Virgil Van Dijk has told Liverpool fans that new signing Cody Gakpo will be able to adapt to the Premier League.

After becoming one of the most sought-after young players in the game – Liverpool announced just before the January window opening that Gakpo would be signing this month.

The young man already has 12 assists and nine goals for PSV this season and is a lad that Jurgen Klopp will hope can turn the season around – as this Liverpool side is really struggling to pick up the wins they need.

There has been some worry in the media that Gakpo will struggle to adapt to the Premier League – but according to Van Dijk – Liverpool fans do not need to worry and his fellow Dutchman will be ok

“I think he will handle it fine but you have no idea what it is like until you are under this sort of pressure,” said Van Dijk.

“He will have to keep his head down and look at what we are doing as a group and listen to the manager, listen to the players around you and don’t listen too much to the outside world because you can be one of the best in the world one day and one of the worst the next. It is never something in the middle.

“He has to stay calm and I think he will do that. He is that type of person.”

I think we are all excited to see just what Gakpo is able to bring to Liverpool – he could struggle, or he could be a January bargain.

He did ok in the game against Wolves in the FA Cup at the weekend – but he will need to do more to be successful at Anfield
