Gakpo, who came close to joining Manchester United this summer, is heading for Liverpool after starring at the World Cup.

“I’ve said to him many times, ‘Make the right decision’ — and I think he will. “The choice he makes, I don’t think it’s going to be about him making good money,” Scheepers says. In the end I stayed, but it was a stressful period.” A look at his shooting map in the Europa League — where he has so far faced Bodo/Glimt once and FC Zurich twice — illustrates how his game changes when playing against teams who want to defend deeper. “At this moment, you could definitely say he is too good to play in the Eredivisie,” adds Voetbal International’s Goodijk. “He plays with a huge amount of confidence and finally also really steps up in the big games. “It’s the player,” he says. But in the end, he had the determination. They praised his skills and they wanted him to have fun, to enjoy the game. Scheepers is no longer a youth-team coach and when he speaks to The Athletic from the Netherlands, he has just finished preparing for Utrecht’s next league match — the trip to PSV Eindhoven last weekend. European football at large has taken a shine to the winger and various clubs are thinking hard about him in advance of the transfer window opening again at New Year. In Qatar, Gakpo became the first Dutch player to score in all three group stage matches at a World Cup.
