Season struggles
Gakpo continues to endure a difficult season despite making 33 starts in 41 appearances.
Analysis: Gakpo started both of the Netherland's friendlies in preparation for the 2026 World Cup but failed to make an impact, reflecting his season at club level in the Premier League. The forward has drawn criticism for his performances and attacking output despite recording eight goals and four assists in 41 appearances this season. The Dutchman has also lost his role on corner kicks, which he held earlier in the campaign, with Mohamed Salah and especially Dominik Szoboszlai now taking over those duties.
Nets against West Ham
Gakpo scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Saturday's 5-2 victory over West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 55th minute.
Analysis: Gakpo got in on the goalscoring fun during Saturday's clash, adding to the rout in the second half. The winger has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, but he's a good finisher when he has time and space with the ball. Gakpo still seems to struggle in top matches where he can't open up an angle for a curling shot.
