Cody Gakpo has settled quickly into life at Liverpool and already looks to be a really strong replacement for the soon to be departing Bobby Firmino but it was another teammate he’s been speaking about most recently.
Talking with liverpoolfc.com, the Dutchman said: “Everybody knows Mo maybe better than I do, a really great player and a really great person as well.
“When he breaks records, because I think he has already broken two since I’ve been here, we are all proud of him and lucky to have him here. He helps the team a lot with his goals and assists, so really happy.”
