The prospect of big lad Cody Gakpo running really fast every week in the Premier League is enticing. Liverpool should be happy with their business. JohnnyTheNic
Cody Mathès Gakpo is a 23-year-old, 6ft 4ins winger born in Eindhoven, who has been playing for PSV since 2018. A good World Cup performance, scoring a goal in each of the Dutch group games,. So much so that Liverpool are parting with £37 million for his signature with another £13millon in potential add-ons. That initial sum is literally just £2million more than they paid for Andy Carroll.
It was the following season when he really proved himself, finishing the campaign with 21 goals and, just as importantly, 15 assists in 47 games. He also scored his first international goal and won the Eredivisie Player of the Year award. Erik ten Hag said he was targeting him in January, but apparently the club’s officials were all on holiday or on the piss. They were too slow to actually offer any money,with a big bag of £20s, who gave the lad some spiel about how great Merseyside is. Ruud swept the money into his desk and drove them to the airport while United were still dozing on the toilet. The irony was Gakpo himself had said he fancied playing for United. He caught a lucky break there.
He can sprint at around 20mph. Given that Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz are all 20mph+ sprinters, that is going to be one fast strikeforce.
