Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesTransfersThe latest Liverpool transfer news as a Reds star is eyed for a move to Tottenham, and there is an update on Inter Milan's interest in England international Curtis JonesTottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi reportedly wants to sign Cody Gakpo(Image: Getty Images)Cody Gakpo is being linked with a move away from Liverpool following Arne Slot's firing last weekend.Slot, who clearly rated Gakpo highly during his spell at Anfield, was dismissed on May 30 after an end-of-season review, with Andoni Iraola installed as his replacement five days later. There will be comings and goings from Iraola's squad before the new season begins, and one of the departures could reportedly be Gakpo.It is claimed, in a report relayed by Anfield Index, that Roberto De Zerbi is driving Tottenham's interest in Gakpo, as he gets to work on reshaping Spurs' squad after an atrocious 2025-26 campaign.Spurs are reportedly considering lodging a £73.5 million ($98 million) bid for Gakpo, who is said to be unsettled at Anfield following the decision to part ways with Slot.There are claims that Gakpo wants to leave Liverpool, and that Spurs view him as a player who could accelerate De Zerbi's rebuild project in North London.De Zerbi is said to be a long-term admirer of Gakpo, and the opportunity to pounce on any uncertainty that Gakpo is apparently currently feeling could tempt Spurs into a move.Curtis Jones latestMeanwhile, a move to Inter Milan for Curtis Jones is said to be very much on the cards.Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano reports that Inter is "very interested" in Jones, but the two clubs are currently quite far apart in their valuations of the England international.Curtis Jones is being linked with a move to Inter Milan(Image: Getty Images)Inter is reportedly starting out at around €20 million ($23 million), but Liverpool is said to want at least €30 million ($35 million), as well as the inclusion of add-ons and a sell-on clause in the deal.Jones is said to be keen on the move, and Liverpool teammate Federico Chiesa revealed in an interview last week that Jones had asked him about what life is like in Italy.“Jones just asked me what life is like in Italy,” Chiesa said.
“I told him it’s great and the weather is better than Liverpool, which, aside from that, is a special place.“Jones is really strong technically. Inter are right to think about him.”Chiesa, meanwhile, could leave Liverpool this summer due to a lack of game time.Chiesa, who has started just two Premier League games in two seasons for Liverpool, said: “I want to play regularly, if I don't find continuity in Premier League, I have to look elsewhere”.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCCody GakpoTransfers
