Bayern Munich have also been credited with an interest for some time, with Gakpo himself confirming last September: ‘From what I understand, they did come, but they ended up buying Luis Diaz.’ Spurs are keeping tabs on thew Liverpool and Netherlands forward (Picture: Getty) Gakpo scored three goals for the Netherlands at this summer’s World Cup (Picture: Getty) Giving his thoughts on the club’s potential transfer dealings, ex-Liverpool striker Heskey told 10bet: ‘I would consider selling Cody if a decent offer was on the table. ‘When you’re coming in as a new manager, you have to cold-headedly look at your assets. ‘He is an asset who holds significant market value that you could cash in on to fund your own vision.’ Heskey has not been convinced by Gakpo’s recent form for Liverpool (Picture: Getty) Though Heskey concedes that Gakpo had a ‘decent’ World Cup, he believes the Dutchman’s form at club level has been patchy at best. ‘He has had a decent enough World Cup in terms of scoring and creating chances for Holland, which keeps his profile high,’ the former England international added. ‘But at club level for Liverpool, it hasn’t consistently looked great for him.

So yes, you’d definitely have to consider a serious offer.’ The BBC claim it would likely require an offer in excess of £60million for Liverpool to even contemplate a deal for Gakpo this summer. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
