Cody Gakpo’s girlfriend issued an update as she and her son left Merseyside. The Liverpool forward has been deployed in a left-wing position this season and has reaped the rewards with 16 goals and five assists in all competitions.
Gakpo’s form has helped Arne Slot’s side get a 12 point lead at the top of the Premier League table. However, Liverpool’s number 18 has been in and out of the side since picking up a knock in late February.

Gakpo is currently away with his national team of The Netherlands as they compete in the UEFA Nations League along with Liverpool teammates Virgil Van Dijk and Ryan Gravenberch, who left the camp early after picking up an injury.
Gakpo’s immediate family members have used the break from Liverpool games to make a trip of their own. Gakpo’s girlfriend is Noa van der Bij and the couple have a son together Samuël Seth Gakpo.
On her Instagram story over the weekend, Noa revealed that she and her son had travelled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a holiday.
