‘He’s hilarious’: Curtis Jones says everybody behind the scenes at Liverpool absolutely loves £37m player

1 year ago 243

This Liverpool team really seem to be a tight-knit bunch.

A lot of these players have seen it all together and have formed some unbreakable bonds, while many of the new recruits have quickly taken to life at Anfield as well.

Cody Gakpo only joined the club earlier this year, but it would appear he’s already one of the most popular players in the squad.

Indeed, speaking on the We are Liverpool Podcast, Curtis Jones has been discussing Gakpo and just how popular he is behind the scenes on Merseyside, and he says that the Dutch attacker is beloved by almost everyone in the squad, claiming that he’s not only one of the most polite people at the club, but he’s also hilarious.

Everybody loves Gakpo

Jones spoke about his £37m teammate.

“I call him Gakkers, that’s the name that needs to stick with him. Cody just came in and everyone loved him when he came in, he’s the most polite lad, but he’s hilarious. There was a time he was going on about my accent, saying Curtis’s accent is strong and I said ‘shut up you Gakkers!’ And it just stuck,” Jones said.

Fit right in

Gakpo seems to have fit right in at Liverpool, and you can tell with his performances on the pitch.

From day one, Gakpo has seemed happy at Anfield, and he’s gelled with his teammates brilliantly.

It’s great to see Liverpool’s new signings making this sort of impact not only on the pitch but also behind the scenes because a happy dressing room is also a successful dressing room most of the time.

This Liverpool squad is really clicking again, and who knows? Perhaps this harmony behind the scenes can lead the Reds to more major success this season.
