Cody Gakpo won’t be arriving at Anfield alone after securing an impressive deal with Liverpool. He’ll be accompanied by his model girlfriend, Noa van der Bij, with their relationship dating back to at least December 2020.
Noa has been working as a junior booker for Cachet Models since completing her management studies at Avans University of Applied Sciences. She has a significant presence on social media, boasting over 17,000 followers on Instagram. Her posts often showcase her love for the high life, featuring photos from exotic locations such as Monaco, Ibiza, Saint Tropez, and Curacao.
Now, Noa is set for a new adventure as she joins her boyfriend, Gakpo, in the UK. Gakpo, the former PSV Eindhoven star, had an outstanding World Cup campaign, scoring three goals in five matches for the Netherlands in Qatar, with Noa passionately supporting him from the sidelines.
Her next destination will be Anfield, where the versatile forward is set to join Liverpool. The Reds secured a £37 million deal with PSV, successfully outbidding Manchester United, who had also expressed interest in the 23-year-old. United had initiated talks with Gakpo’s representatives the previous month and were considering a January move for him.
Gakpo had previously shown interest in joining Manchester United and expressed disappointment when his proposed summer transfer to Old Trafford fell through. Instead, Manchester United signed Antony from Ajax. Gakpo had further opportunities to move to the Premier League but declined a private jet to Leeds and wasn’t enticed by Southampton’s club-record offer.
Now, Gakpo is finally getting his chance in the English top flight, and he’s expected to lead Jurgen Klopp’s attack with the support of his stunning girlfriend from the stands at Anfield.
