A video of Liverpool striker Cody Gakpo feeding children during a visit to Togo has caught the attention of football fans around the world.
Cody Gakpo paid a visit to his father’s hometown Togo located in the West Africa for his holiday break.
After a successful season with the England team, Gakpo decided to skip his Ibiza holidays but chose to spend time with his family and friends to support Togolese children with food.
The player was greeted by many Liverpool fans upon his arrival.
During his visit, Gakpo shared a touching video of himself with the welcomed children on social media.
The striker has been in Togo capital Lomé since Monday 19 June.
Cody Gakpo who was born in Eindhoven, Netherlands, chose to represent the Dutch national team despite having the option of playing in either Togo or Ghana. His father has both Ghanaian and Togolese roots.
He was one of the players Ghana were aiming for a great season ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
Three goals in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup earned him a £37m move to Liverpool in the January transfer window, making him one of the most important players for the club and his home country.
He made 21 appearances for Jürgen Klopp’s side and provided two assists in the 2022-2023 season.
