Dutch winger Cody Gakpo started against his former club in the Champions League as Liverpool faced PSV Eindhoven, and he opened the scoring from the penalty spot

Cody Gakpo is on a high for Liverpool this season, having scored a brace in the Reds’ 4-1 win over Ipswich Town last Saturday, January 25, in the Premier League.

Cody Gakpo was inspired by his dad’s dream house even though it took decades to finish. The Liverpool FC attacker has flourished this season playing as a left winger under new manager Arne Slot. He scored and assisted Liverpool’s most recent game against Ipswich on Saturday, taking his total to 14 goals and five assists for the 2024/25 season.

Liverpool star Cody Gakpo has revealed that one Manchester United player stopped him from moving to Old Trafford. Back in December 2022, it was announced that Liverpool had agreed a deal worth a reported fee between 40m-50m euros (£35.4m-£44.3m) to sign Gakpo from Dutch side PSV Eindhoven.

Liverpool have already secured their place in the Champions League knockout rounds. But as they prepare to face PSV Eindhoven, manager Arne Slot has a key decision to make. Should he risk Cody Gakpo in a match that has little impact on their season?
