Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's delighted with the form of Cody Gakpo.
The Holland attacker has been impressive this season.
And Klopp said on Friday: "Top. Since Cody is here he played, you are right, a few positions. And now starting the season he played in midfield. If we have everybody available it was never the plan to put Cody there, we just knew he can play there and he can obviously.
"But it was for him again something new after the false nine last year and all these kinds of things, all of a sudden always new positions. But he's a super-smart player so he can adapt to that. But we want him to adapt and then you have to perform immediately on the top level, and that was in the midfield position a bit difficult, but with a little bit more time he can play there perfectly, no doubt about that.
"Then the injury, which was really unlucky in this horrible game [at Tottenham Hotspur] and now back, he's just a versatile striker, he can play everywhere up front there. For us it's super-important. He arrives in the box, he is a good shooter, he has a good nose for the situation. He is a top, top, top player, and a really good character as well. That's very helpful. How I said, the boys up front all like each other that's really like that.
"There's not this battle between 'Will I start?' They all like each other and they know they can all play together, and that's really important and they enjoy it a lot. They all want to start but if they don't start they know they will come on and have to in an ideal world kill the game off, and Cody is a very important part of that."
