Despite the current struggles of the team, Gakpo remains optimistic and is determined to make the most of his opportunity.
Gakpo also revealed that he spoke to former Manchester United striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, in the summer when a transfer to the club looked like a possibility.
“I spoke to van Nistelrooy a lot about Manchester United in the summer when the transfer looked like it may be coming. But in the winter, not really”
However, he didn’t have much communication with him in the winter when he joined Liverpool.
Nevertheless, van Nistelrooy was supportive of Gakpo’s move to a big club, and the young player is grateful for his advice.
“It was Ruud’s wish that I went to a big club – and I think I have achieved that with Liverpool,” Gakpo said.
Overall, Gakpo is focused on performing and figuring things out as quickly as possible. He believes that getting on the ball, turning, and running at opponents is where he is most dangerous, and he is eager to bring that aspect of his game to Liverpool.
