One of the positives behind the jet-heeled winger's decision to join Fiorentina, was that he had the chance to learn from Franck Ribery.
Ribery was one of Koffi's idols growing up and now he gets to train alongside him.

"At the moment, I'm not expecting much transfer activity.
"Certainly in terms of incomings once again.
"I was actually told that Liverpool won't be signing anyone in the next window.
"If you would have asked me in January, I would have been pretty confident of one or two signings coming in to immediately bolster that first-team squad.
"Since then things have obviously changed.
"There's a different financial climate due to the impact of the coronavirus and that has naturally impacted on potential dealings in the transfer market as well."
