Cody Gakpo - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Threat without end product Gakpo registered two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Japan.

Impact Gakpo operated as the left-sided forward in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Japan in Dallas, registering two shots (one on target) two crosses and one interception across his 85 minutes before being replaced by Brian Brobbey. The Liverpool forward was a consistent threat in the left channel throughout but was ultimately frustrated by a Japanese defensive block that limited his side to 10 total attempts, with his best moment coming when his first-half shot forced the goalkeeper into a sharp save before the match opened up in the second half.

Likely starter at World Cup Gakpo enters the 2026 World Cup as one of the Netherlands' most reliable attacking outlets, having earned his place in Ronald Koeman's squad and is expected to start on the left wi...

Impact Gakpo endured a somewhat inconsistent season with Liverpool, contributing nine goals and six assists alongside 76 key passes across 51 appearances including 40 starts in all competitions. While the numbers reflect a campaign that never quite reached the heights expected of him, his ability to influence matches through volume of involvement, direct running and delivery from wide areas remains a significant asset. At international level, Gakpo is one of the first names on the teamsheet for the Netherlands, bringing a combination of technical quality, physical presence and delivery that gives manager Ronald Koeman's side a consistent threat down the left flank. His ability to cut inside and shoot, combine with runners in behind and deliver dangerous set pieces makes him one of the more complete wide options at the tournament. The Netherlands have genuine ambitions of going deep in a World Cup, and Gakpo's form and fitness will be one of the more closely watched factors as the tournament progresses.

Impact Gakpo added a goal during the second half of Sunday's clash, trying to lead the comeback but failing to do so. The attacker got involved throughout his time on the pitch, and took a team-high five shots despite the loss. Despite his five shots only two were on goal, though he did finish one of those. Gakpo has been inconsistent at best throughout a disappointing season.

Assists opener Gakpo assisted once to go with five shots (three on goal) and four chances created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Everton.

Impact Gakpo set up Mohamed Salah for the opening goal during Sunday's clash with a beautiful pass that split the line and put Salah in alone. Gakpo was excellent during Sunday's win, one of his best performances in a season full of awful showings. The winger created four chances and came inches away from a goal of his own after a nice move from Florian Wirtz. Gakpo's future is uncertain, but he seems set for a substantial role during the Premier League run-in.

Assists as strikers Gakpo assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win over Fulham.

Impact Gakpo moved from the left flank to start as a central striker during Saturday's clash and nicely controlled a cross to set up Mohamed Salah for the second goal. Gakpo has had a poor season in any role, but maybe a switch to striker in the closing stages could help, though he remains behind Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak in the pecking order. Gakpo has struggled to find a role for himself this campaign after some awful form.

Season struggles Gakpo continues to endure a difficult season despite making 33 starts in 41 appearances.

Impact Gakpo started both of the Netherland's friendlies in preparation for the 2026 World Cup but failed to make an impact, reflecting his season at club level in the Premier League. The forward has drawn criticism for his performances and attacking output despite recording eight goals and four assists in 41 appearances this season. The Dutchman has also lost his role on corner kicks, which he held earlier in the campaign, with Mohamed Salah and especially Dominik Szoboszlai now taking over those duties.

Impact Gakpo got in on the goalscoring fun during Saturday's clash, adding to the rout in the second half. The winger has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, but he's a good finisher when he has time and space with the ball. Gakpo still seems to struggle in top matches where he can't open up an angle for a curling shot.
