A trusted Liverpool-focused reporter has appeared to drop a strong hint over the future of Cody Gakpo in a post on social media.The Reds winger has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur for most of the summer, and The Athletic reported on Monday that Manchester City have now entered the race to sign the 27-year-old.James Pearce and Ian Doyle have both implored the Anfield hierarchy not to sell the Dutchman in the final week of the transfer window, but one of their journalistic colleagues has hinted that our number 18 could soon be on the move.David Lynch hints that Gakpo could leave Liverpool soonOn Tuesday lunchtime, football writer James Nalton posted on X: ‘For all Gakpo’s cutting in from the left and shooting, his goal vs Newcastle came from the inside right position. Maybe try him there, also allowing Ngumoha to play on the left.’Liverpool reporter David Lynch then seemed to hint at an imminent move to Spurs for the forward as he replied: ‘To be fair, I think Gakpo’s position is going to be Roberto De Zerbi’s problem by next week.’(Photo by Molly Darlington/Getty Images)Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?

Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trustSelling Gakpo would be a huge mistake by LiverpoolThe Reds might be closing on the signing of Bradley Barcola, if reports from France over the past 24 hours are accurate, but that shouldn’t automatically mean that our number 18 is jettisoned immediately.Calvin Ramsay’s loan move to St Mirren today has freed up one non-homegrown berth in Liverpool’s Premier League squad, which make it possible for us to sign the Paris Saint-Germain winger without having to offload Gakpo.As plenty of LFC fans have already pointed out on social media, Andoni Iraola isn’t exactly overflowing with attacking depth at present, and it’d certainly seem erroneous to get rid of our most dangerous forward from the draw against Newcastle on Sunday.Some might make the case for accepting a sizeable offer for the 27-year-old if either of his suitors were to come in with one, but selling a proven high-level attacker to a direct domestic rival would be highly inadvisable.We’d much rather the Liverpool head coach entertain Nalton’s suggestion of swapping Gakpo and Ngumoha to the flanks opposite which they started at St James’ Park, than the club entertain any notion of letting Spurs or Man City snap up the Dutchman in the final week of the transfer window.
