Blaauwhof said: “What I think is that they [Spurs] made a project with Cody [Gakpo] that’s he’s going to be the first striker up there and that combined with a big contract, a longer contract from London. “I think that’s made him think about the step, where maybe at the club where they like him a little bit more.
“I think he’s open for the move, because otherwise they would’ve already made a statement or something. Dat kan nog wel een bonusje schelen straks voor Tottenham Hotspur, dat Oranje-aanvaller graag snel aan boord heeft.?? pic.twitter.com/0ctRyhUZOZ — Joost Blaauwhof (@joost_blaauwhof) August 16, 2026 Blaauwhof told EOTK: “So he’s not desperate to leave, but when they come over [Spurs] and make him a star player and all things are already set up, I think it could be a very quick transfer.
They already know what they’re demanding, so I think when they’re coming about in pounds 70, about that 60 or 70 million pounds that maybe Liverpools open for the move, especially because two years on the contract or three but they [possibly] already brought in Barcola by then.” Barcole to Liverpool remains the main factor in Gakpo’s desire to leave Gakpo started most of Liverpool’s games last season and whether or not you agree he should be a starter for the Reds, he became accustomed to it and players are rarely able to accept going back to a squad player. So, I think it’s not going to be a very difficult transfers.
