Former Everton boss Ronald Koeman has suggested that Liverpool ’s horrendous form is a key reason behind why Cody Gakpo has endured a slow start to life at Anfield.
The Dutch forward completed a £37m move to Merseyside in January from PSV, with the Reds beating fierce rivals Manchester United to his signature. Despite his electric form in his home country so far this season, Gakpo has not quite managed to continue that following his switch.
The 23-year-old is yet to score his first Liverpool goal in six appearances in all competitions, while he has also failed to assist his team-mates. Koeman, Gakpo’s new manager on the international stage with the Netherlands, has claimed that his tender years as well as Liverpool’s wretched run of form since the World Cup are huge reasons behind his stuttering start to life on Merseyside.
