Cody Gakpo has so far been rewarded and proved right for his summer decision to remain in the Netherlands despite a host of European clubs being keen on signing him.
The 23-year-old was one of the most sought after players, with Manchester United, Leeds, Southampton and Real Madrid all interested in gaining his signature. The exciting attacker chose to instead remain in Eredevisie in order to gain consistent game time ahead of the World Cup, however.
His World Cup debut goal in a 2-0 win against Senegal demonstrated that the right decision was made. Gakpo got onto the end of Frenkie de Jong's clipped cross, beating Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy to the ball before flicking home for the opener.
