Is Cody Gakpo lethal and lightning fast for Liverpool Lets find out

The Liverpool and Netherlands forward Cody Gakbo has been in the news recently. Though he has not performed at an optimal level in the club, Cody Gatko is known to provide full throttle when it comes to his national team. 

As a football enthusiast, you all know that the Euro 2024 semi-final is scheduled between the Netherlands and England and he has been known to shine in every match when gearing up for his national team. 

According to Espn, this footballer made his name in the English giants when he scored back-to-back goals in the 2022 World Cup in five appearances which happened in Qatar. Though Argentina had knocked them out in the knockout stages, Liverpool took notice of this talent. 

The club took this star performer for 35 million euros, but he has failed to show his magic in the club. Luiz Diaz, Darwin Nuez, and Mohammad Salah remain the club and crowd favorites. A glimpse of his talent was showcased against Manchester United in 2023 where the club won 7-0. He scored two goals during this unforgettable match. 

When asked in an interview he said “ I used to play as a left-wing in my national team and in an English club I play as a striker. So it is a lot different, I think this is why my performance is not up to the mark” 

Should you consider Code Gakbo as a potential start? 

Yes, He has played five games in the World Cup and has scored three goals. That's talent right there.  During the win against Romania 3-0 he was denied an offside goal. Only Kylian Mbappe is the only European footballer who has scored more than 5 goals in all his appearances at the World Cup.
