In a video shared on social media, the lanky forward is seen feeding homeless children as they gathered to welcome their hero.

The Netherlands forward has been in Lomé since Monday and before his latest act, he had distributed clothes and caps to some fans.

Gakpo was given a heroic welcome by supporters of Liverpool who were at the national airport to meet the forward.

The 24-year-old scored seven goals in 21 Premier League games for Liverpool in his first season with the Reds, as reported by Transfermarkt.

He is expected to play a key role in the upcoming campaign as the European giants eye a return to UEFA Champions League.

He joined the Reds from Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven.

Salah enjoys holidays with daughter

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Egypt and Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah is taking full advantage of the end of a long season to spend time with his lovely family.

The Liverpool forward endured a tough campaign as they missed out on a top-four finish despite a late charge.

Salah scored 30 goals across all competitions as the English giants ended the season without a trophy.

Liverpool ace disappointed after UCL miss

Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah released a worrying statement after his side failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

The Reds will have to play in the second-tier Europa League in the 2023-24 season after Manchester United’s win over Chelsea on Thursday confirmed their place in the final Champions League spot.

This is certainly unfamiliar territory for Salah, as it is the first time Liverpool have failed to qualify for the Champions League since 2017.
