Iraola wants final product from his wingers, and Gakpo will love having the license to provide it.Dominik SzoboszlaiSzoboszlai has been one of the most consistent Liverpool performers over the last two years, and Iraola is likely to give him plenty of opportunities.

Given the way Iraola plays, which focuses on getting the ball to the attackers quickly, Szoboszlai will thrive in how he plays incisive forward balls.Milos KerkezPerhaps the most obvious winner is Milos Kerkez, who earned his move to Liverpool by being superb for Bournemouth under Iraola. Kerekez was a nailed-on starter for Iraola, and the Spaniard is likely to still have plenty of trust in the full-back.Iraola wants his full-backs to get forward with the ball, and he knows Kerkez can do that.LosersVirgil van DijkIt feels like van Dijk's days at Liverpool are numbered due to his age.

Jones is going to have to prove he can aid Iraola's direct style of play if he wants to stick around, or at least if he wants regular game time under his new boss.The 25-year-old was only a starter around half the time under Arne Slot in the Premier League season just gone, making 18 Premier League starts in all.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
