The Dutch forward was signed in January with high expectations, and now, after a slow start to l🎐ife on Merseyside, he’s starting to show what 𓆏he can do in a red shirt.

Heskey impressed by Gakpo

The former Liverpool star spoke about the January signin🅠g.

“Then Gakpo, it’s taken him a bit of time to get used to it, but he looks like a very promising prospect for Liverpool. He’s another player who scans very well, when the ball is coming into feet he always knows whether he can turn or lay off and spin, so he’s very good,” Heskey sꦕaid.

Improved

As Heskey says, it has taken Gakpo a little bit of time to get into his stride, but now that he appears to have settled on Merseyside, he’s l🐈ooking every bit a Liverpool player.

The attacker has been in fine form as of late, and at the age of just 23, he’s only𓆏 going to๊ get better.

He showed in the Eredivisie just how do♏minant he can be, an꧃d if he can continue on this upwards trajectory, he could well end up being one of the Premier League’s better attacking players.

With Darwin 📖Nunez also only in his early 20s, the future loඣoks very bright for Liverpool in an attacking sense.
