Cody Gakpo admits he could be Liverpool's new No9 next season.
The Dutchman arrived in January from PSV Eindhoven as a recognised winger.
However, Gakpo says his future with the Reds could be central, telling AD: "(Gus) Hiddink was the first (to mention the change).
"He spent a while at PSV as a sounding board, saw me busy and said: 'You have to become a striker or a false striker, Cody'. I didn't want to believe that then.
"And also not when Roger Schmidt said the same thing later at PSV. I was more stubborn than now, felt good on the left flank.
"But at the last World Cup I was already more central on the field and at Liverpool even permanently in the past six months. That was good," Gakpo continued. "I'm just more excited to get better at that place in the near future. Yes, as far as I'm concerned also with Orange."
Gakpo continued: "We play with two wingers who stay high and a striker who can also lower himself to participate in midfield. Klopp saw me doing that, he said after my arrival in January. And now I do too.
"With us you have Mo Salah on the right flank, he has shown it at the top level for many years. I would rather see him as the 'leader' in our attack. I don't think status is that important anyway. I want to help the team I play in. And I now enjoy doing that from this position."
