Joe Cole has told ITV Sport’s coverage of the Netherlands’ win over Qatar on Tuesday that Cody Gakpo is showing the kind of potential that could see him reach Dennis Bergkamp’s level – amid interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
Gakpo, 23, scored his third goal at the World Cup on Tuesday.
Cole says he is a real talent and has the potential to reach Arsenal icon Bergkamp’s level.
The Mirror claim Arsenal are interested in signing Gakpo.
Having been the subject of interest from Leeds, Manchester United and Southampton in the summer – he is being linked with plenty more.
If he gets three goals in three World Cup games, the likes of Sneijder, Bergkamp – he is not moving in those kinds of circles yet, he will be on his way.
