Liverpool Legend Praises Gakpo’s Goal Contribution Amidst Criticism

However, Gillespie remains steadfast in his support for the Dutchman, highlighting his significant goal-scoring output.

“While Gakpo may not be everyone’s preferred choice, his goal tally speaks for itself,” Gillespie remarked.

The forward has netted an impressive 13 goals across various competitions this season, including crucial strikes in the Europa League, where Liverpool continues to vie for success.

Despite only finding the net five times in the Premier League, Gakpo’s overall impact on the team’s offensive efforts cannot be overlooked.

With 20 goals in 68 appearances for Liverpool, Gakpo’s signing has proven to be a shrewd acquisition for the club, fending off competition from other Premier League rivals.
