Gakpo's stock increased at the World Cup with three goals in five appearances before the Netherlands were knocked out at the quarter-final stage on penalties to Argentina.

Manchester United had shown interest in Gakpo in the summer before pursuing a deal for Antony from Ajax.

Before PSV released their statement, it was understood Liverpool were in advanced talks with PSV about the transfer as they looked to bring in another attacking player following long-term injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota.

Liverpool moved up to sixth in the Premier League table with a 3-1 win over Aston Villa in a hugely entertaining game at Villa Park.
