A winger for Eredivisie club PSV and the Netherlands national team, Cody Mathès Gakpo was born in the Netherlands on May 7, 1999.

Gakpo, a graduate of the PSV academy, made his first-team debut for the team in February 2018. After scoring 21 goals in 47 games across all competitions in the 2021–22 season, he was named the Dutch Footballer of the Year.

Gakpo represented the Netherlands in youth international football from the under-18 to the under-21 level. He participated in Euro 2020 in June 2021, making his senior international debut.
