Cody Gakpo has been one of the stars of the World Cup so far, having scored in both of the Netherlands’ first two games against Senegal and Ecuador.
In truth, such form is just a continuation of what the Dutch forward has been doing at club level for PSV Eindhoven over the past 18 months. He returned a 21-goal season, along with 15 assists, last year and already boasts 13 goals and a whopping 17 assists from just 24 appearances during the first half of the current campaign.
Make no mistake, contributing 34 goals and 32 assists from his last 71 club appearances has been enough to put a whole host of elite clubs on alert. And in truth, it was a surprise that the 23-year-old wasn’t on the move in the summer.
