Cody Gakpo is reportedly willing to join Tottenham if a transfer fee can be agreed with Liverpool this summer. For the second summer running, Gakpo is happy to leave Liverpool after he was ready to join Bayern Munich last summer before Luis Diaz was the player to move to the Bavarians.

Cody Gakpo reportedly willing to make Spurs switch amid increasing interest According to Caught Offside, via the London Evening Standard, Gakpo has given the green light to a move to Tottenham, but a move to London will depend on whether or not Liverpool and Spurs can come to terms on a transfer fee. It’s uncertain how much the Reds would demand for the 27-year-old, but a claim on Monday from Simon Jones, writing for the Daily Mail, suggests that although Liverpool have “no plans” to sell Gakpo, ” a huge sum” from Tottenham could change their thinking.

A report from Anfield Watch suggests Liverpool would only sanction a sale if they received £72m (€85m) this summer, which would make Gakpo the second most expensive departure in the club’s history. That’s rather a lot of change for a single summer, and after we saw the effects that too much change had on Liverpool last season, it might be wise to keep Gakpo.
