Gakpo in Ruud health Ruud van Nistelrooy cannot say he hadn’t known what to expect. The Leicester City boss was in charge of PSV Eindhoven when Liverpool came knocking for their sought-after forward Cody Gakpo two years ago. Indeed, the departure of the Holland international contributed to Van Nistelrooy’s decision to walk away at the end of the season while citing a lack of support.
What happened at final whistle should be clear Liverpool message to FSG about first priority of 2025 Jurgen Klopp might not have liked Anfield chant but Arne Slot has given Liverpool reason to believe And the loss for the Dutch side remains very much Liverpool 's gain, Gakpo a key cog in an attacking unit that continues to help Arne Slot’s challenge for honour on four fronts. While Liverpool weren’t exactly flailing in pursuit of an equaliser approaching half-time, there was a sense of unease among the Anfield crowd. That, though, instantly dissipated when, in trademark fashion, Gakpo accepted an Alexis Mac Allister pass, cut inside off the left flank and thumped a right-footed effort into the top corner from the edge of the area.
It was deserved reward for Liverpool’s best player on the night, an eighth goal in 13 appearances for the in-form forward moving him on to 10 for the season. Gakpo then capped a personal triumph with superb work in midfield before releasing Mohamed Salah to score the third. This is a player at the peak of his powers.
