Cody Gakpo, a 24-year-old striker with Liverpool, has demonstrated significant prowess in critical aspects of his position. He excels remarkably in ball recovery and progressive passing, indicating his ability to regain possession and push the ball forward effectively. Additionally, his skills extend to a high rate of ball retention, chance creation, and touches per game; this allows him to keep possession and create scoring opportunities for his team. Although he exhibits impressive goal threat, his goal efficiency could benefit from improvement. His one-on-one defending leaves room for advancement as well, but given his role as a striker, this can be seen as less critical. His strong win percentage in aerial duels and overall duels denote a player who can hold his own physically against opposition. His high assist rate and pass accuracy further accentuate his role as a vital cog in Liverpool's attacking machinery. While Gakpo is a striking force to be reckoned with, his directness in attack could be refined for increased potency.
