Tottenham Hotspur Told To Pay In Excess Of £70m For This Liverpool Winger: What Should De Zerbi Do? Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast , journalist Pete O’Rourke told Tottenham Hotspur to pay in excess of £70m for Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo. O’Rourke said, “Well, there’s definitely substance to Spurs’ interest in Gakpo, but as things stand right now, Liverpool do not plan on selling Cody Gakpo. “Liverpool have got Gakpo under a long-term contract until 2030, and they’re under no financial pressure to sell. “The only way he could possibly move would be if Spurs were to make a huge offer of £70 million plus at least. “On top of that, it might be more likely if Liverpool brought in more players, because as I said as things stand right now with the squad a bit short, they can’t really afford to let Gakpo go.” Gakpo’s Inconsistent Numbers In The Premier League Gakpo had an inconsistent campaign at the Merseyside club but managed to put in a run of productive displays for them in the final third. The Dutch talent registered seven goals and five assists in 36 league appearances for the Reds last season. The 27-year-old is currently among the most talented wide players in the Premier League. Therefore, it is no wonder that Spurs are showing interest in recruiting him this off-season.

Hence, Tottenham have no choice but to meet Liverpool ‘s demands if they want to sign Gakpo this month. What Should Tottenham Hotspur Boss Roberto De Zerbi Do With Regards To Gakpo? Gakpo is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few dangerous runs with it out on the flanks. He has the vision to create some promising chances for his teammates in the final third and can shoot the ball with power from long range. The Dutch sensation is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also fill in as a centre-forward if asked to do so. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham . Gakpo would bring more firepower to Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi’s frontline. He has what it takes to challenge for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. At 27, Gakpo is about to enter his prime, which makes him a decent option for the North London club to pursue this off-season. Therefore, De Zerbi should focus on going all out to land him before the end of this transfer window.
