Sutton wrote: “The most important aspects of Sunday were the performances of Cody Gakpo, who showed what a brilliant finisher he is, and Darwin Nunez, who has had a difficult season and has not always taken his chances.”
Exciting
In our view, Cody Gakpo is a very good and promising young forward who has already shown at Liverpool what he is capable of.
The 23-year-old Netherlands international joined the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners only in January 2023.
Gakpo has scored four goals in seven Premier League starts for the Merseyside club so far this campaign.
The forward has done well in some games, and it seems that he is starting to find his feet in the Premier League.
The Dutchman is only 23 and moved to Liverpool just a few weeks ago.
So, we have to be patient with Gakpo and not expect too much from him right now.
