Overview
- Former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey publicly advised on Thursday that Liverpool should entertain a sale of Cody Gakpo if a “decent offer” is made, comments given to 10bet and quoted by Metro.
- High-profile reporting earlier this month from Fabrizio Romano linked Tottenham Hotspur with interest in Gakpo, fuelling speculation despite no formal bids being reported so far.
- Independent market sources cite Gakpo’s value at roughly €60m, a figure Heskey used to argue the club could cash in to fund Iraola’s plans.
- Gakpo was a heavy user for Liverpool in 2025/26 with 41 starts and 3,596 minutes, but his club goal output fell to nine last season, prompting debate over his on-field form versus transfer value.
- Liverpool’s current stance remains cautious with the club unlikely to sell without meeting valuation and securing cover, and Iraola is expected to assess Gakpo in pre-season before making a decision.
