The article, shortened and in plain language
Dutchman’s second son died during pregnancy in June.
Cody Gakpo has reflected on a “very tough” summer that ended with the collapse of a transfer to Manchester City, revealing Liverpool changed their minds about letting him join their top-flight rivals.
The forward scored a stoppage-time equaliser to earn the Netherlands a 1-1 draw in Thursday’s Nations League tie against Germany Jürgen Klopp. It continues a bright start to the season for Gakpo, who was an £80m target for City in August before talks stalled.
“It was a difficult summer for me, and my family, and everything surrounding football and life,” Gakpo said, asked whether he thought he was going to leave Liverpool.
Gapko has refused to sulk since the move to City broke down, scoring in Liverpool’s opening-weekend draw against Newcastle and in their Carabao Cup win over Spurs.
Gakpo said he “could do much better than I did last year” in a disappointing season for Liverpool that ended with the departure of Arne Slot. His value at Anfield was underlined by Virgil van Dijk, his national team captain and Anfield teammate, who sang Gakpo’s praises following his last-gasp volley.
