Overview
- Reports on Friday said Tottenham are preparing a formal offer to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool and are working on a plan to persuade both the player and his club.
- The claim that Gakpo has asked to leave was published by Dutch outlet Soccer News and carried by UK sites but has not been confirmed by Liverpool or the player.
- Liverpool sacked Arne Slot at the end of May and appointed Andoni Iraola in early June, a managerial change that media coverage links to increased player uncertainty at Anfield.
- Coverage describes a dip in Gakpo's form this past season despite strong overall numbers since joining Liverpool, with outlets citing roughly 50 goals and 23 assists since his arrival.
- Media reports list an estimated fee of about €60m and a contract through 2030 as provisional figures, note interest from clubs in England, Spain and Germany, and point to Tottenham's wider summer recruitment including Andy Robertson and Marco Senesi.
