Cody Gakpo has lifted the lid on which of his Liverpool teammates is first to training every day.

Today marks a year since Liverpool announced the signing of Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven. In that time, the 24-year-old has settled in well with his teammates.

Having initially learned from Roberto Firmino, Gakpo still has the legendary Mohamed Salah to to turn to for advice. And in quotes from the Liverpool ECHO today, the Dutchman says that’s exactly what he does. Meanwhile, it won’t be a surprise to learn that Mo is the man to beat into training in the morning.

“I have learned a lot from Mo already,” says Gakpo. “He is a real professional. He is always the first in the gym and the last out. Maybe that sounds a little bit cliched but it’s true. Even if you get in really early, Mo is always there first!

“You see how he moves and how he does things on the pitch but also outside of the pitch and what he eats too.

“I think Mo is also a person who is trying to also help the younger players to develop and I appreciate that a lot form him. I have spoken to him a lot of times about smart things he does, how it has helped him and maybe how it can help me as well to become a better player.”

Salah setting the standards

There were plenty of stories from their time at Liverpool together that it was always a battle between Sadio Mane and Salah for who was in the gym first.

In their relentless drive for perfection, both Mane and Salah would push themselves to the limit.
