Liverpool F.C. forward Cody Gakpo is reportedly a target for Tottenham Hotspur as manager Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his attack. The Reds are keen to keep Gakpo, who has four years left on his contract. De Zerbi wants to sign at least one wide attacker, and Gakpo fits the bill. However, Liverpool would not be willing to let Gakpo depart without having a replacement through the door.
What's at stake for Liverpool F.C.?
Liverpool F.C. are currently 5th in the Premier League, 25 points behind leaders Arsenal. They have scored 63 goals and conceded 53 this season, with a goal difference of +10. The Reds are looking to strengthen their attack, but losing Gakpo would be a significant blow.
Why is Gakpo a target for Spurs?
Gakpo is one of the more experienced forwards in Andoni Iraola's squad, and he has the capacity to provide striker cover. He has four years left on his contract, and Liverpool would not be willing to let him go without having a replacement through the door.
What comes next for Gakpo?
The transfer market is still open, and it's unclear whether Gakpo will be sold to Spurs. Liverpool are expected to make a formal approach to Paris Saint-Germain for France winger Bradley Barcola, but that will not be a simple deal to do given PSG's valuation of the player. Gakpo is a key player for Liverpool F.C., and his future is uncertain.
