Alex Livesey/Getty Images Tottenham Hotspur have been handed encouragement in their pursuit of Liverpool star Cody Gakpo, with ‘an opening’ emerging for Spurs to enter talks with the Reds. The Lilywhites have recently been engaged in direct talks with Gakpo’s camp in a bid to accelerate the deal.

There have been suggestions that Liverpool would need to sanction Gakpo’s departure should they succeed in landing Barcola, potentially creating a route for Spurs to step in. Gakpo is also receptive to the ‘idea’ of moving to north London and becoming part of Roberto De Zerbi’s project at N17.

Spurs are also pursuing Manchester City star Savinho as they seek another attacking addition to raise the quality of De Zerbi’s squad. A deal for Gakpo would not affect their pursuit of Savinho, with the two negotiations being treated separately and De Zerbi having distinct roles mapped out for both wingers within his plans.
