In this video, James Allcott takes a look at Liverpool Football Club who have just announced the signing of Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven. This is a huge transfer for the Reds, as Gakpo is a top-class winger with plenty of goals and assists under his belt. We can’t wait to see him in action at Anfield, tearing up the pitch and scoring some screamers.
If you’re a Liverpool fan, you’re going to love this guy. Gakpo has got pace to burn, excellent dribbling skills, and a knack for finding the back of the net. He’s going to fit in perfectly with our attacking style of play, and we can’t wait to see him link up with the likes of Mo Salah and Sadio Mane.
So what do you think of the Cody Gakpo signing? Are you as excited as we are to see him in a Liverpool shirt? Let us know in the comments below

⚠Andy Brassell said it's pronounced Hakpo!! Don't blame me. Much love xxx⚠
you pronounce it as cody gakpo, just change the a to how the rest of the world sais it 🙂
So not "gekpo", but gAkpo
Klopp said when signing Nunez is a working progress and Klopp and all his coaching staff will be working on his weaknesses that is for sure. Look at the Villa game you could hear the Liverpool fans chanting Nunez’s name because he started the press and well and truly worked his socks off.
All other oppositions fans that slate him as he has only joined 6 months ago not every player can hit the ground running some take time and Klopp has said Nunez is a working progress.
Then this is why Liverpool’s recruitment is the World’s best recruitment team in the World. While Liverpool are beating Villa Julian Ward and the rest of the recruitment team getting to sign Gakpo an hour later we go and sign him.
I am a Liverpool fan of 52 years and I never sore this deal coming just like Fabinho came from no where and Utd where chasing Fabinho for 2 years and then Liverpool from no where signed him 3 days after we lost to Real Madrid in Kiev not one Liverpool fan sore Fabinho deal coming just like Gakpo.
What a time to be a Liverpool fan and I can see Liverpool signing a midfielder in the transfer window that is for sure roll on Leicester YNWA
Let’s hope Henderson tapped up Jude like VVD tapped up Cody 💪
Diaz & Jota are long term injuries , Diaz is out indefinitly , Lateral knee injuries are very bad with long long recovery times.
I think its a great signing and will only improve the squad
I think that it was a necessary signing as it kinda gives the clarity for the future of the club. I personally think that liverpool might change the formation by the end of the season into a 4-4-2. now with gakpo in they can have diaz play from left wing, nunez and Gakpo up front. we have seen elliot being devastatingly good through the inside left and the 4 midfield setup would totally unlock his potential once his defensive workrate increases over the years along with his physicality.
Most importantly this means that pressure on the centre midfielders decreases as klopp will have fabinho, thiago, henderson, milner(until he is there), bajketic, keita (if he doesnt leave) as realistically good depth until they get a top notch midfielder in the summer (hope its bellingham or declan rice).
up front, there's also jota, firmino, carvalho oxx as backup so LET'S GO LIVERPOOL!!!
Alot of people think nunez is a flop but physically hes there and he takes players on, being clinical will come with time and he'll be unreal
Ask a Ghanaian or Togolese , that's not how it should be pronounced. Most African names are pronounced phonetically so is the case here.
Hakpo it's just the Dutch pronunciation of his the surname is of. Ghanaian descent
4-3-1-2 1 being Gakpo and 2 being Nunez Salah
Good video, James! What I would say is United are broke. They absolutely have no means to buy in the Jan window. It’ll be a loan, hope they scrape top 4 and then utilise the new takeover money in summer. Gotta feel for Erik here.
i like what you said, its all about having options. if you compare liverpools bench against the likes of city chelsea and arsenal, our bench isnt as varied and it hurts us when we try to change the game, we arent able to. when jota and diaz comes back, we will have an abundance of varied attackers tht can change the game
The guy couldn't get past an injured James Tavernier in two champions league qualifiers lol.
please just pronounce the "G"…
Somepoint you had 12 players on field
Gakpo was soo unnecessary. Needed a new midfielder
I also thought it was 'hakpo' due to the way some commentators and louie van gaal said it (similar to the g in his own name in fact) but apparently his name is ghanaian not dutch so i think it is with a g
I feel like gakpo will take the role of firmino/last years mane whilst nunez moves out to the left
I'm Dutch and I'm sorry James but you're still not pronouncing it right haha
yes we need players up there as players are age its for the future aswell as now
Can you please straighten the number 6 frame its triggering me lmao
necessary, as players such as jota, diaz and firmino get injured alot.
Gakpo's number 18
As a Liverpool fan, necessary? No. An opportunity too good to pass up? Absolutely. From what I've seen he is very strong with both feet, it could mean Salah gets so valuable rest and rotation which will prolong his career (hopefully at Liverpool). He can also play centrally up front and more importantly gives us a chance to change a system within a game by going 442 or 4231 which could be key in knockout matches in UCL and valuable points in the Prem. Overall, he's a great signing to have, we couldn't afford to wait until Jota and Diaz came back, we had to buy. It might cause us a little selection headache going forward but when competing against the likes of City, depth is the key
James your slacking on the premier league coverage, you still suffering from World Cup hangover or something.. been eagerly waiting on what you think about my mighty magpies
Does liverpool still go for bellingham after this signing?
I think it points to the 4-2-3-1 with jota and Bobby playing in that 10 role with Diaz or gakpo on the left with Nunez up top but also allows Liverpool to move players around when u have so many players that are flexible in position plus I don't think we will see Diaz back this season
Just guys stop exaggerations he js rubbish to my kop liverpool
Yes
Think his number is 18
Liv need a midfielder more, but we can’t keep any of our attacking players healthy! I’m relieved, given that Diaz is injured until March.
Why does he call him Hackpo? His name is GAKPO
Lol Shut tf up mate if you don’t know what’s going on at Liverpool !!! Diaz is out until April !! That’s why we signed Gakpo !!
And We could switch in 442 or in a 4231 formation with Gakpo behind Nunez and Diaz as RW
Liverpool should play 4-2-4 with gakpo and jota as strikers and Diaz and Salah on the wings, both gakpo and jota can drop and move around and salah and Diaz can cut in
Crackpo,nunez,salah .jota,firmino, doak backup 💪
Why you just saying his name like a wierdo
the signing of Gakpo would have been needed at some point in the future so getting it done now just sped up that process. also, the fact that we signed him means we've taken him out of the hands of any other premier league club or champions league club. we will see the midfield situation addressed in january with maybe one midfileder being brought in, but we should also see the arrival of Bellingham in the summer
YNWA
Also means if we are down and need to go all out attack we can play a 4231 with gakpo in behind Nunez and Diaz and salah on the wing. Attack is looking a lot better just need to sort out midfield and possibly another CB
Can we move firminho to the midfield like what Newcastle did with Joelinton? Would love to see Bobby stick around.
Liverpool's midfield is the problem and this purchase will expose that
Thing one of the main reasons is we have nothing on the left at the moment with Jota and Diaz both injured. Long term you have Diaz, Nunez, Jota and Gakpo who can all play LW and ST, with jota and diaz having some experience playing RW. All interchangeable, main focus now should be midfield
Hchakpo
Its Gakpo not Hackpo
The name from a locla tribe in Ghana and it directly translates to metal.
I love this guy he's one of the only football channel I go to for his expertise and tactical analysis no hatred no BS just a brilliant football fan who knows his stuff..
Great player but at a time when 3 new mids and another defender are needed desperatly why has another forward been brought in?
When will he play for Liverpool?
liverpool still needs to buy proper midfielders, this is their main problem
