LiverpoolAbout CODY GAKPO
World Cup 2026 pedigree
Cody Gakpo announced himself at WC2022 — three goals in the group stage put him on every elite club's shortlist. Liverpool signed him in January 2023.
Role for Netherlands
Liverpool's left-winger and Netherlands' primary wide attacker. He is left-footed, cuts inside from the left for shots, and combines short passes with the central striker. His finishing efficiency from inside the box is among the squad's best.
World Cup 2026 outlook
Mid-range Golden Boot pick (around 34-41/1). Netherlands' draw is manageable; Gakpo's value depends on the system Ronald Koeman commits to — if he plays as a wide forward in a 4-3-3, his shot volume is high enough for a top-10 Golden Boot finish.
