Cody Gakpo at the 2026 World Cup
Cody Mathès Gakpo is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left winger or centre forward for Premier League club Liverpool and the Netherlands national team. Netherlands will look to Cody Gakpo, their left winger, for stretching defences and creating from wide across the group stage.
Netherlands go into the tournament as genuine contenders (4.9% to lift the trophy per Polymarket's live market), and much of that case rests on technical midfield: exactly the area Cody Gakpo is there to drive. Alongside Tijjani Reijnders, he gives Ronald Koeman's side a spine to build around.
