The Dutchman has been on their radar for almost all of the summer season and with Liverpool nonetheless racing to signal Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola, Gakpo might shortly turn into accessible.
It is no secret that Spurs are chasing a left-winger, both. The opposite title on their shortlist has been Savinho and while he is definitely one to observe, it is Gakpo who would make an actual distinction.
The Liverpool man might have acquired his fair proportion of criticism in a tricky Liverpool marketing campaign final season, however the numbers counsel the extent of that criticism was harsh at Anfield.
Gakpo ended final season with 9 objectives and 6 assists. That will have made him probably the greatest performers in Tottenham’s frontline. For the suitable worth, he could be an addition that ensures aim involvement for De Zerbi’s aspect – one thing they nonetheless lack forward of the brand new season.
Because the switch window continues to tick away, these in North London are actually stepping up their transfer. Based on Dutch journalist Joost Blaauwhof, Tottenham have made ‘formal’ contact to signal Gakpo and the winger is open to leaving the Anfield membership earlier than the top of the summer season.
It is a key increase for the Lilywhites, who’re merely ready to pounce as quickly as they get the inexperienced mild from Liverpool. That will arrive sooner somewhat than later too, because the Reds go in pursuit of Barcola and Mbaye. The arrival of the Paris Saint-Germain duo would make Gakpo surplus to necessities simply over a 12 months since he performed a key half in Liverpool’s Premier League title win underneath former supervisor Arne Slot.
It was in that very same marketing campaign that the Dutchman earned reward from former Liverpool participant Joe Cole, as Liverpool edged previous Crystal Palace on their strategy to glory.
“It wasn’t his complete efficiency, Gakpo, particularly, I believed was glorious right now. However proper on the dying after they had been underneath the cosh slightly bit, the ball’s come as much as him, he’s introduced it down, he’s damaged the traces, he’s gone previous any individual, and he gained a nook. He does every thing.”
If Gakpo might discover that type at Tottenham, then De Zerbi would have the sport changer that he is been trying to find all summer season lengthy. In a single transfer, these in North London might remedy their one remaining downside.
