Jeremie Frimpong showed his versatility after completing his move to Liverpool as Cody Gakpo once again shone for the Netherlands in a routine victory over Finland on Saturday.
Reds fans may well have been tuning in to see their new signing in action, with Frimpong having completed his move to Anfield at the start of the transfer window this summer.
He will hope to be joined by former Bayer Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz, with the German international looking to be closing in on his own switch after Liverpool made a third bid.
Having already secured his move, Frimpong was able to turn all his attention to international duties as he played alongside three of his new club mates, with Virgil van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch also starting in Helsinki.

And the Liverpool quartet helped the Dutch to a comfortable 2-0 win to get their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign off to the perfect start, with Frimpong and Gakpo in particular catching the eye.
The former has of course been signed as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold following his move to Real Madrid, but Frimpong showed he could offer more to Arne Slot than just another option at right-back alongside Conor Bradley.
The 24-year-old was utilized as a right-winger - a position he regularly takes up with his country - as he showed his attacking capabilities, and he almost marked his latest appearance with a goal as he forced a superb save from Lukas Hradecky after Memphis Depay gave the visitors an early lead.

It wouldn’t be too long though before the Dutch doubled their lead, with Gakpo heavily involved as Denzel Dumfries finished from the Liverpool winger’s cross.
The Netherlands saw out their victory, with Van Dijk no doubt delighted with the clean sheet, even if his manager wasn’t all that impressed with his side’s performance.
“You want to get more out of a match like this,” Dutch boss Ronald Koeman said.
