On December 27th, Liverpool star Nicole spoke about new signing Gakpo on ESPN and said he didn’t quite understand why the Reds chose to sign the Dutch starlet.
Earlier today, Gacopo’s move to Liverpool was officially confirmed and the transfer fee is expected to be around 44 million pounds.
Although the news excited many Liverpool fans, Nicole was not so convinced and he has been thinking about the position of the 23-year-old striker in Klop’s team.
“I’m not 100% sure it’s a good signing,” Nicole said when asked what he thought of Gakpo’s transfer. “which position does he play? His previous position is not very forward, nor is he a midfielder, he is somewhere in between. ”
“in Liverpool’s current style, which position does he play in? I’m not sure. Unless they see something, maybe they will let him play on the side of the three strikers, or they will ask him to pull back a little bit and play a role similar to Bellingham in the back row when attacking. ”
“will he do all the dirty work, and does he still need to cut in? For me, what he has to do is somewhere in between. ”
