Cody Gakpo reportedly sat down with Andoni Iraola for ‘clear-the-air talks’ after his move to Manchester City collapsed late in the summer transfer window. Liverpool had to do what was best for the club, but Gakpo’s character has shone through in this difficult period.

“The fact that Gakpo’s transfer fell through came as a complete surprise. An agreement had been reached regarding the financial terms under which Gakpo was allowed to leave Liverpool.” Gakpo did not deserve the undiluted criticism he received last season, regardless of how poor his performances were.

The fact is that he was not the only player to regress in Arne Slot’s second season in charge. Now, with Barcola on Merseyside, Gakpo’s chances of regular playing time will suffer, but that does not have to be the case.
