Jürgen Klopp’s £35m signing is starting to score goals and have an influence before Roberto Firmino departs in the summer
Cody Gakpo’s first six games as a Liverpool player yielded one victory. He joined a club low on confidence and bereft of form, making the transition from life in the Eredivisie to the Premier League a tougher one than he and the club would have desired.
After a six-week trip to the World Cup quarter-finals, Gakpo’s return to domestic football was at a new club in a new country, with the small matter of £35m changing hands. If it has been a confusing season for some due to the World Cup in Qatar breaking up the calendar, Gakpo has had more than most to adapt to but is looking settled as Liverpool prepare to face Tottenham on Sunday.
