The transfer fee is between £35m and £45m. A PSV statement on Monday said: "PSV and LFC have reached an agreement on the proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo.

Gakpo has all the attributes required of a modern forward and after his perfect treble at the World Cup had clubs across Europe scrambling for his signature before Liverpool won the race. That mentality will have impressed his suitors as much as his league-topping tally of goals and assists. His steadily rising goals- and assists-per-90 minutes stats for his club show that extra homework is paying off. At PSV he has shone as a left winger, cutting inside. A goal in each group stage game - one with his head, one with his left foot and one with his right foot - was testament to his rapidly improving play in the final third, appetite for the big stage and versatility. Cody Gakpo's stock increased at the World Cup with three goals in five appearances before the Netherlands were knocked out by eventual winners Argentina; Man Utd had shown interest in Gakpo in the summer before pursuing a deal for Antony from Ajax

The 23-year-old Netherlands forward Cody Gakpo 'will leave for England imminently', PSV said, after Liverpool stole a march on some English rivals.

Jürgen Klopp is keen to refresh his midfield with Jude Bellingham a favoured option, although Borussia Dortmund are unlikely to consider selling the England international until the summer. The 23-year-old had been strongly linked with Manchester United, where the manager, Erik ten Hag, is a confirmed admirer, while Newcastle were interested last summer.

Cody Gakpo was one of the stars of the World Cup scoring three goals for the Netherlands and he could be closing in on a move to Liverpool.

Cody Gakpo was one of the stars of the World Cup scoring three goals for the Netherlands and he could be closing in on a move to Liverpool. Gakpo won't be able to be registered until the transfer window opens on January 1 if a deal goes through now. With injuries to Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, and Roberto Firmino, Liverpool must feel that their attack needs to be bolstered while Gakpo could also allow them to move into a future without Firmino.

Liverpool are set to beat Manchester United to the £50 million ($60m) signing of PSV forward Cody Gakpo.

So if they can get it over the line, it'll be even sweeter for Klopp and Co. Crucially, he is capable of operating across the forward line, providing the kind of versatility Liverpool crave, and his age, 23, means there is room for improvement too, as there is with Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, Fabio Carvalho and Diogo Jota, the club's last four attacking signings. "The 23-year-old attacker will immediately leave for England where he will undergo the necessary formalities to complete the transfer.

Liverpool have signed forward Cody Gakpo from Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven for a reported fee of £37 million ($44 million USD) plus add-ons according to ...

The transfer window has not formally begun as of yet, however, the deal has been finalized, according to Romano, and Gakpo will join the club as soon as the window reopens on Jan. Liverpool have been rife with injuries so far this campaign, effectively derailing their hopes to contend with league leaders Arsenal and reigning champs Manchester City. So far this season in the Eredivisie, he leads the league in scoring, finding the back of the net nine times and has assisted on 12 more.
