He finds it easy to play with his back to goal, to come short and link, to know when to drift wider as a CF, to know when to drift inside as a LW. He understands those positions very well for someone his age. MUN need to act.4592442Gakpo's fluency at both LW and CF is so impressive.

Hopefully FDJ too but we’d obviously need CL to have ANY chance of that happening.

He said:&quot;It was hectic. It was difficult (to deal with) because it was my first time to decide between staying or going. You hope for immediate clarity at the start of the window so you can focus on PSV or your new club, but that didn't come.&quot;PSV@PSVClubliefde is onbetaalbaar #ForeverEinTovenaar1493189Clubliefde is onbetaalbaar &hearts;️#ForeverEinTovenaar https://t.co/Ax2vPYYsXxHe spoke about the interest from Manchester United:&quot;At the start of the window, Manchester United registered their interest but not very strongly, so I was waiting for a bit, and then the end was approaching, and the signals became more positive. I started thinking it could fall that way eventually.&quot;Gakpo added:&quot;The interest faded (soon after), so the whole window I worked towards that, and then it faded. So then, I was watching last week, thinking 'what is the right thing to do?'. I feel at home here, in my own city. Everyone knows how I feel, but you have to look at all your options, but in the end, I know I made the right choice.&quot;A versatile forward blessed with pace and power, Gakpo has scored 52 goals and provided 42 assists in 148 games for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side. He has won four titles for his boyhood club.PSV, who are atop the Eredivisie standings, will next play at SC Cambuur on Saturday (October 1).
