Amongst Liverpool’s hunt for two or even three new wingers this season, Cody Gakpo has largely been overlooked as an incumbent option.Though he had a poor season last term, the Dutchman has generally been a solid player for the Reds, and reminded everyone of his quality by scoring three goals at this summer’s World Cup.Nevertheless, as Liverpool pursue an expensive deal for Bradley Barcola, it feels like Gakpo and his future has become something of an elephant in the room.

Now we have another ‘bomba’.”So, taking everything into account, how likely is that to be the arrival of Gakpo from Liverpool?Gakpo could definitely leave Liverpool for TottenhamAndoni Iraola has been keen to stress that he likes his wingers to be able to play on both sides, and that means that even if Barcola arrives, there could be room for Gakpo.READ MORE: Andoni Iraola sounds like he wants a four-man Liverpool attack featuring Bradley Barcola and Florian WirtzThe Frenchman and Gakpo could be main options on the left, with Ngumoha and Munoz on the right and Federico Chiesa serving as Alexander Isak’s understudy through the middle. Having signed a new contract only last year, and with Tottenham supposedly very keen on him, Gakpo is one of Liverpool’s most saleable assets.

Overall, we’d rate Gakpo’s chances of being De Zerbi’s ‘bomba’ signing as decent to good.
