LONDON (AP) — Liverpool completed the signing of Dutch striker Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old Gakpo, who scored three World Cup goals, will officially join the Premier League club when the transfer window opens on Sunday.
PSV announced on Monday that he had accepted the transfer for an undisclosed fee, describing it as a “record” for the Dutch club.
“This is a great club for me to come in and try to show what I can (do) and try to help the team achieve more beautiful moments than they have already achieved in recent years,” Gakpo told Liverpool’s website.
Gakpo scored 55 goals and provided 50 assists in 159 games for PSV.

Chelsea have agreed to sign striker David Datro Fofana from Norwegian club Molde.
The 20-year-old Ivory Coast international will join Chelsea on New Year’s Day, the Premier League club confirmed on Wednesday.
