Gakpo explains why he wore Togo kit, but why he didn't play for them
Could Liverpool's new signing Would Cody Gakpo have played for Togo if the country had made more of an effort to entice him away from the Netherlands?
Gakpo has explained how his love for Togo led to him wearing their shirts as a child.
The forward chose the Netherlands after receiving no concrete offers from the Sparrow Hawks. The 23-year-old signed for Liverpool after a successful season with PSV.WHAT HAPPENED? Gakpo has revealed that he used to wear some of his father's Togo shirts while watching the country's matches, which he still does today.
The Netherlands international was born in Eindhoven to a Togolese father of Ghanaian ancestry and a Dutch mother. He was eligible to represent the Netherlands, Togo, and Ghana, but chose the European country.
His love for the West African nation, however, remains intact, and he could have played for the Sparrow Hawks had the country's federation made a concrete approach.WHAT DID HE SAY? "I don't keep up with Togo news. "My father does," the attacker told Voetbal.
"Where he first watched everything on television, he now follows the news and various other programmes on Togolese television via the internet.
"I only watch national team games with my father. He has several national team shirts, but he does not wear them during matches. When I was a kid, I used to wear one of his shirts to play football on the square in our neighborhood."Personally, I have not had any contact [from Togo]. My choice for the Netherlands was not difficult. We haven't heard anything from [his agent] Kees [Ploegsma Jr] since. Unfortunately, I do not speak the language."
