Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo is hopeful of winning titles in his first full season after an underwhelming 2022/23 campaign.
The Reds struggled for majority of last season due to injuries and loss of form by some key players, however, Jurgen Klopp’s side recovered and finished strongly by placing 5th in the Premier League and securing UEFA Europa League qualification.
Gakpo completed his switch to Anfield from PSV Eindhoven in January and went on to feature in 26 games and made 10 goal contributions across all competitions.
“Very excited [to be back]. I think first of all it’s nice to see everybody after a short break. I think everybody is excited to go again and we want to show everybody what we’ve got,” the Netherlands forward told Liverpoolfc.com.
“I think everybody has the same mindset at the moment: we really want to achieve something this year again. That’s the target and we will train hard for that.
“We ended, I think, the campaign pretty good with a nice run of winning games, and I hope we start there again and do that for the whole season: win prizes together and show everybody how good we are.
“For me personally, [my aims are] just working hard, keep improving and helping the team as much as I can: to really have an impact by scoring goals, giving assists, helping the team, working hard with the result of winning games.
“In the end we win as a team and hopefully we are going to win some prizes again.”
On Liverpool’s new midfield signings Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai, Gakpo added: “Very pleased [they are here]. I think everybody knows that they are very good players and I’m really looking forward to playing with them together.”
