Cody Gakpo It has become one of the names of the summer transfer market. His impressive performance in recent years has made him a highly desirable attacker for Europe’s top teams.
The versatile 23-year-old Dutch attacker started the season on the right foot with 3 goals and 2 assists in 3 games played. Last season with PSV Eindhoven, the club where he grew up, he scored 21 goals and provided 15 assists in 46 games. His name is on the agenda of several major Premier League teams.
The 3 Premier League teams that want Cody Gakpo
-Arsenal: The Gunner outfit is looking for an attacker who can rotate wingers with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka. They lost the bid for Raphinha and are also aware of Pedro Neto’s situation, so Gakpo is a much cheaper and more interesting option, considering that it also fits within the club’s transfer policy based on age. It is a profile that Pep Guardiola likes a lot.
-Manchester United: The Red Devils are looking for a winger who can offer rotation to Sancho and Rashford, who performed so poorly in the season opener against Brighton. Erik Ten Hag requested the signing of Antony, but Ajax’s financial demands complicated the operation. Gakpo is a player who has followed Ten Hag a lot during his time in the Netherlands.
-Leeds United: The White team, which debuted with victory against Wolverhampton in the Premier League, are looking for more variants to strengthen their offense, which has lost a lot with the departure of Raphinha. The Dutchman is a profile that Jesse Marsch likes a lot, who knows that they have to incorporate more pieces in order to have a quiet season and not fight for relegation again.
