CODY GAKPO has expressed his pride at seeing the Netherlands contingent thrive at Liverpool but was coy about the prospect of Jeremie Frimpong adding to the ranks at Anfield.

With head coach Arne Slot also backed up by compatriots John Heitinga and Sipke Hulshoff on the coaching team, there is a strong core of players and staff who honed their craft in Holland.
