Former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has penned an open letter to Cody Gakpo wishing him luck after the latter took his former shirt at Liverpool.
The Reds have just secured a deal to bring the ex-PSV man to Anfield and bolster their attack after losing Luis Diaz to yet another injury.
Gakpo was close to moving to the Premier League in the summer and he would have joined Leeds United after the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United pursued him.
After his fine World Cup, it seemed he will join Erik Ten Hag to sign him, but Liverpool moved fast and hijacked the move for the Netherlands international.
He has taken the number 18 shirt and Kuyt wished him luck. He wrote as quoted by Matchplug:
‘Cody Gakpo, welcome to @LFC.
‘This number has brought me lots of magic, and I hope it will bring you the same kinda magic too. Congratulations and good luck.’
