Tottenham is reportedly gearing up to make a substantial €70 million offer for Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, with sources indicating the North London club is leading the race for his signature.
Industry insiders have corroborated claims that Spurs are preparing a significant package for the Dutch international. While no official bid has been submitted yet, one well-placed source described the move as "in the works."
Gakpo's future at Liverpool is reportedly uncertain following a dip in his on-field performance. Despite this, he remains a player of interest across the Premier League and Europe. Newcastle United and Bayern Munich are also said to be monitoring his situation, with the German giants previously showing interest before prioritizing other targets.
It's understood that Gakpo himself hasn't made a decision about his future and isn't actively pushing for an exit from Anfield, even with recent speculation linking him to potential unrest following Arne Slot's departure as manager.
Discussions regarding Gakpo's future are expected to intensify later in the summer, following his commitments with the Dutch national team in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers. However, Tottenham is anticipated to make a formal approach relatively soon.
For Liverpool, the question arises whether they should cash in on Gakpo if a suitable offer materializes. While he's shown flashes of talent, he may be considered more of a squad player. Tottenham, looking to bolster their squad after two consecutive 17th-place finishes in the Premier League, might see Gakpo as a valuable addition to help them climb the table.
