ABOUT CODY GAKPO
World Cup 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.
WC2026 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.
