Journalist James Pearce has hailed Cody Gakpo’s performance in Liverpool’s 2-0 win at Ipswich, showing a great attitude after not joining Manchester City. Gakpo has looked refreshed and energised since the appointment of Iraola.

Great to see him flourishing again.” Hats off to Cody Gakpo for a superb attitude Gakpo was excellent on Friday night, producing two inch-perfect passes to Isak, and he deserves so much credit for the professionalism he has shown. Other players would have sulked, having not managed to get a transfer to City over the line when it looked on the cards, but he has knuckled down and improved a great deal since last season.

He has been very good all the pre-season, has started very well this season, producing numbers. I think it’s good to have Cody because he can play in the three positions up top and to have him in this place for this beginning of the season is good.” While some were happy to see Gakpo leave, assuming a couple more wingers had come in, he is showing why retaining his services could end up being a huge positive.
