"Now over halfway through his third full season with Liverpool, Dutch attacker Cody Gakpo is in the midst of his least fruitful campaign in front of goal. His first two seasons saw G/A returns of 23 in 2023/24 and 25 in all comps last season. Those were more than serviceable numbers from a player that was not asked to shoulder the scoring burden. Mohamed Salah was still challenging for Golden Boots"
"Predictable Style Nobody will ever pretend that Gakpo is a winger that whips crosses in the box and creates a lot of chances for others. That never has, nor ever will be, his game. He really burst onto Liverpool's radar during the 2022 World Cup in which he was finding the back of the net for the Netherlands with regularity from distance."
Cody Gakpo is midway through his third full Liverpool season and experiencing his least fruitful campaign in front of goal. He recorded 23 goal contributions in 2023/24 and 25 across all competitions the previous season. Injuries and sales have reduced attacking options, increasing expectations on Gakpo. He is on pace for roughly 12 goals and seven assists from a projected 49 appearances, with potential for fewer contributions if playing time declines. Gakpo excels with a gifted right foot and gained prominence during the 2022 World Cup. His tendency to cut inside onto his right makes his play predictable compared with more explosive wide attackers.
