Tottenham aim to sign Cody Gakpo after Van Hecke arrival
Tottenham Hotspur, fresh from acquiring Jan Paul van Hecke, are now pursuing Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, according to transfer journalists Fabrizio Romano and Nicolo Schira, with coach Roberto De Zerbi identified as the driving force behind the interest after noting Gakpo’s World Cup goals and assists.
De Zerbi intends to offer Gakpo a contract lasting until mid‑2031 and to give him a leading role in Tottenham’s project. The Italian manager believes the Dutch international can anchor the attack.
Tottenham’s recent defensive reinforcements include Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi, signed to add stability at the back. Both arrivals arrived from abroad to bolster the London club’s back line.
Gakpo is described as the dream purchase for Tottenham’s offensive line. His World Cup form, featuring multiple goals and assists, makes him an attractive target.
Liverpool open to selling Cody Gakpo this summer, says journalist
Liverpool have not indicated a willingness to sell Gakpo at this stage. The club previously brought Victor Munoz to England this summer, and coach Andoni Iraola wants to secure at least one more foreign player. RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande is specifically mentioned as another candidate Liverpool might consider retaining. His presence underscores Liverpool’s desire to keep foreign talent.Tottenham offer Cody Gakpo contract until 2031 As Liverpool fans call for sale
Gakpo has not received a green light to leave Liverpool, and the Reds remain pleased with his contributions. The Dutch striker’s performances continue to satisfy the club’s expectations. The 27‑year‑old is contracted to Liverpool until mid‑2030 and has not expressed a desire to depart, meaning any Tottenham move would require negotiation. Until Liverpool decides otherwise, the transfer remains speculative.
