One of the best signings Liverpool made during the 2022-2023 season was undoubtedly that of Cody Gakpo, who surprised many clubs in Europe after his great performance at the Qatar 2022 World Cup with the Netherlands national team.

 

After that great participation, Jürgen Klopp decided to go all out to complete his signing and finally got him for 42 million euros. Since his arrival at Anfield, Cody Gakpo has shown his great talent and the enormous potential he has, even adapting to play as a center forward, a position that is not the one he dominates the most.

However, under Klopp's command, Cody Gakpo has shown his best level in the most competitive league in the world as the Premier League, in which in just 21 games he scored 7 goals and gave 3 assists, which excited Klopp who considers him one of the most important players in the future project of the Reds.

Gakpo is currently with the Netherlands national team as they seek the UEFA Nations League title. However, one mistake by Cody Gakpo could end the Netherlands' title hopes.
