Serge Gakpé in Red-Hot Form for FC Nantes as He Eyes Top Ten Finish
Serge Gakpé is currently in sensational form in Ligue 1, silencing critics who previously questioned his finishing ability. The Togolese striker for FC Nantes has been in remarkable goal-scoring form, correcting his earlier struggles in front of goal with a series of stunning strikes.
After scoring a brilliant direct free-kick a week ago, Gakpé added another spectacular goal last Friday with an acrobatic mule kick against Marseille. The recent goals highlight his growing confidence and the quality he brings to his team.
With three games remaining in the season, Gakpé has already scored seven goals, playing primarily from the wing. Despite his impressive tally, he remains determined to push further. “The goal is to finish in the top half of the table,” he said, outlining his ambitions for Nantes. “If we finish in the top ten, we’ll be happy with the season. Personally, I scored seven goals playing on the wing. It’s not bad, but I had the ambition to score 10. There are three games left. You never know. You can always improve.”
At 27 years old, Gakpé feels he’s in the prime of his career and is focused on maintaining his strong performances. “I’m in the prime of life, so I have to keep working,” he added, underscoring his commitment to further development.
For now, Gakpé’s future lies at Nantes, where he remains fully committed. “I’m a canary,” he stated, reaffirming his dedication to the club.
According to Opta, Gakpé has been a key player for Nantes in recent weeks, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist in his last 7 Ligue 1 matches, showcasing his all-around contribution. The in-form striker will be crucial for Nantes as they look to finish the season strong.
