'He knows there's weight on his shoulders': Jones on Gakpo's arrival at Liverpool

Curtis Jones spoke about Liverpool's latest signing Cody Gakpo and his view on how he is adapting to the team in an interview with the club website.

"He's settled in great. He's come in and, of course, he knows there's a little bit of weight on his shoulders in terms of the spell that we're in. He's a young lad who… well I say he's young, he's captained his team and I think he was captain from when he was 21 or something like that.

"He's young but he's experienced – he's been at the World Cup, he's scored goals and he's been a key player. So he's coming in here now and he's showing that as well in training. I wish him all the best and I think he'll be a big, big part of the team; we definitely need him.

When asked if there are things he can learn from Gakpo, he added: "Yeah, 100 per cent – in fact, we've actually become close. We've spent a lot of time around each other. We sit by each other inside the changing rooms. He's been a kid that I've clicked well with. You know I've got friends that I've played with at England that are at his team – PSV.

"So, I've heard things about him that I like as well. He's great kid, a humble kid – the full package is there for him. He's an exciting player but at the same time he's a great guy as well."
