Having cost Liverpool nearly 40 million pounds to sign, but rookie Gakpo has not shown much at Anfield.

Gakpo celebrates his first goal in a Liverpool shirt.

Newbie Gakpo once made Man Utd and Liverpool fiercely compete, before the Dutch striker decided to “land” to Anfield for nearly 40 million pounds. However, since joining the “Red Devils of Merseyside”, Gakpo suddenly dropped in serious form.

After the first 6 matches for The Reds, the former PSV striker did not score, did not create, did not create any big chances. He had only 13 shots in 497 minutes played, with 5 shots on target, with an accuracy rate of 37%. Notably, in these 6 matches, Liverpool lost 3, drew 2 and won only 1 time.

However, after a difficult time, the 23-year-old striker opened fire again in the Merseyside derby against Everton, helping the home team win with a score of 2-0.

Explaining the reason for his sudden drop in form, Gakpo explained: “When I moved here, I played in the position of a striker and a false 9. Those are completely different positions compared to what I have. I have played before in my career. As a professional player, I always try my best to get used to the new position to fulfill the goals assigned by the head coach.”
