PSV Eindhoven director of football Marcel Brands has admitted it hurt to sell Cody Gakpo to Liverpool. “You are happy that you were able to take the financial pressure off for a while,” Brands said.

You are proud that Cody is going to a club like Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp hasn’t been able to do that with Gakpo, as he currently faces injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota. However, as shown by his time at PSV and his tournament at the World Cup, the winger is a hugely talented prospect.
