Cody gakpo addresses jeremie frimpong transfer question as 'crazy' claim made

THE DUTCH FORWARD HAS SPOKEN OF HIS PRIDE AT THE NETHERLANDS PLAYERS AND COACHES WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE TITLE WIN 12:00, 20 May 2025 Cody Gakpo has expressed his pride at seeing the

Netherlands contingent thrive at Liverpool - but was coy about the prospect of Jeremie Frimpong adding to the ranks at Anfield. The new champions have been underpinned by the performances of

captain Virgil van Dijk, midfielder Ryan Gravenberch and frontman Gakpo this term, with all three starring for a Reds side that will win the league by 12 points if they beat Crystal Palace

on Sunday at Anfield. With head coach Arne Slot also backed up by compatriots John Heitinga and Sipke Hulshoff on the coaching team, there is a strong core of players and staff who honed

their craft in Holland. READ MORE: What Liverpool end did gave away reality as Florian Wirtz boost fuels excitementREAD MORE: 'It was obvious why' - national media respond to

Liverpool defeat at Brighton and make Federico Chiesa point Frimpong, who has undergone a medical ahead of a £30m switch from Bayer Leverkusen, is expected to swell the Oranje numbers

further on Merseyside but Gakpo laughed off the prospect of linking up with another international colleague in the wake of Monday's 3-2 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion.

"I'm very, very proud to see so many Dutch players here," Gakpo said. "We have a lot of Dutch players now in the Premier League. Everybody is doing good, so hopefully we

can continue. "Brighton have three Dutch players and one more on the bench, we all know each other very well, so that is nice to catch up here. Article continues below "Maybe

[Frimpong is next], I don’t know yet, maybe you know more than me! "He is another Dutch one, well 'English' as well you know? He is a very good guy, I know him very well from

the national team, and a good player as well. So let’s see if he comes or not." Liverpool will sign off from a spectacular season when they host new FA Cup holders Palace this weekend
