Of course, there have been times when Gakpo hasn’t performed to the best standards possible, but last season, he really came into his own.

But that hasn’t stopped him from saying that some of Arne Slot’s tactical changes have made him become a better player.
However, since Liverpool haven’t had an out-and-out striker for the last few years, Gakpo has mostly been used as the Reds’ focal point.
And, when Gakpo was asked what made him become a Premier League champion last season and perform so much better, he responded: “I think position-wise, slightly different, not central striker anymore and more from the left.
“New manager came in, slight tactical changes, I think.”

Now that Diaz has exited, Gakpo is the only natural left-winger at the club.
Of course, Hugo Ekitike, Federico Chiesa, and Rio Ngumoha can all be used there if needed, but the first two play better in their natural positions, and Ngumoha is still too young to be a consistent backup.
