“Liverpool” team’s Christmas greeting could have been encoded with a message about the team's future plans.

Such rumors began to spread among fans when they saw Dutch players Cody Gakpo and Virgil Van Dijk standing next to a festive tree on social media.

According to fans, this means that the "Reds" are scouting among players from that country for a potential new recruit.

“In the photo - two Dutch players. Perhaps this is a hint that Jeremie Frimpong or Mats Weifferis will be invited in January?” - wrote one fan.

“A wrapped gift and players? - another fan speculated about the club's plans.

“I have no doubt that there is a hidden message here about what awaits us in January. Just think - two Dutch players next to the Christmas tree. It's all clear,” - concluded another fan.
