Evra is confident that Gakpo is currently Liverpool's best player.

Evra said: "Liverpool is missing something now, they no longer have Salah. I think Gakpo is currently Liverpool's best player. Jota still needs a long time to recover from injury, but normally, he should be the first choice.

"Isak is being mocked at Newcastle in a situation like this... I think he's doing everything he can, but he's not getting enough support. He needs strong teammates to pass the ball to him.

"Larsen Wirtz is incredible, but he's too soft, too nice. I don't feel his impact or his presence—he doesn't dominate the game. He will make a difference because he's intelligent, but he hasn't carried the team on his shoulders, which I think is why Liverpool signed him in the first place."

Wirtz's performances at Merseyside have been criticized since his £115 million transfer last summer. However, he has improved his physical strength this season and may prove Evra wrong.

Barcola is expected to undergo a medical examination this week, and a deal for Gakpo could pave the way for the French player's transfer. Related reports suggest the total value of this deal could reach around £120 million.
