Cody Gakpo is currently preparing to represent the Netherlands in Euro 2024 and after so recently having a child, he’s already used to being away from home.
Speaking on ESPN, our No.18 described how Joe Gomez helped him keep up to date with his pregnant partner: “It was the day before the Everton game, I remember Joe Gomez telling me, ‘why don’t you bring your phone to the meeting, just in case.’
“I was like, ‘yeah, he’s right.’ I was not in the moment, we have a game tomorrow and the baby is coming in one or two weeks but he said that and he was right.”
