Tottenham are readying a massive bid for Cody Gakpo after the Dutchman told the Lily Whites that he wants to make the move to London in what could be a move that sets Liverpool’s final summer transfers in motion. According to TEAMtalk journalist Graeme Bailey, Gakpo’s agents have met with Tottenham and agreed personal terms in principle, with Tottenham set to submit a bid to Liverpool Bailey reports: “We understand Gakpo’s representatives have already agreed personal terms in principle with Tottenham and have now taken the next step by speaking directly with Liverpool’s hierarchy to make the player’s position clear.

“Gakpo is understood to have been hugely impressed by what he has heard from the Tottenham head coach and believes the opportunity to play a major role in De Zerbi’s project is particularly attractive “The Reds want more than £60million before they would consider allowing Gakpo to leave and, crucially, sources indicate Tottenham are prepared to meet that valuation with their upcoming bid.” A recent claim suggests that Liverpool want as much as £72m to let Gakpo leave this summer. Gakpo exit is a necessary element in the deal to sign Bradley Barcola from PSG Fabrizio Romano reported on Friday that Liverpool want to sign two new wingers, including Barcola, and “this depends on Cody Gakpo to Tottenham as talks continue.” ?

This depends on Cody Gakpo to Tottenham, as talks continue. As far as upgrades go, Barcola for Gakpo is exactly what Liverpool need to take their attack to a new level.
