During that period, the Netherlands international has found the net 48 times in 162 matches for Liverpool, proving instrumental in the club's Premier League title triumph under manager Arne Slot.Gakpo has benefited from consistent playing time since Slot's appointment as Liverpool manager, though his goalscoring form has dipped this campaign with just seven strikes in all competitions. Slot has given him 20 league starts this season, yielding five top-flight goals, with his most recent league strike arriving last month against Fulham.Liverpool confirmed in August that Gakpo had pledged his long-term commitment to Anfield through a new contract extension with the Reds.Former United coach Rene Meulensteen has outlined why he thinks Gakpo is content at Liverpool, whilst hinting that the winger might still consider a future departure."Cody Gakpo likes it at Liverpool with the Dutch coaching staff there, with Arne Slot and everything, there shouldn't be any issue," Meulensteen told BetGoat."Obviously, he hasn't possibly played as regularly as he did last season, and that also has to do with confidence.

When the opposition sees that, they analyse that, they double it up, and then it becomes a bit of a problem."He's got plenty of things going for him, in my opinion, but like plenty of other players at Liverpool, they haven't really hit the same heights."Not only Gakpo, but also Mo Salah, you know how important he is.

But he's still a good player. And every time he's played for the Dutch national team, he's been doing really, really well."
