# Liverpool: Journalist shares big Cody Gakpo transfer update

**Speaking to [Voetbal International](https://www.vi.nl/pro/een-nieuw-tijdperk-in-eindhoven-de-psv-dossiers), as transcribed and shared by[PSV Fans,](https://www.psvfans.nl/sangare-op-weg-naar-uitgang-bij-psv-wordt-flink-geinformeerd/) journalist Marco Timmer has shared a big update on Liverpool’s links to PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo.**

### The Lowdown: Man in demand…

The 22-year-old has been making waves in Europe whilst enjoying a brilliant 2021/2022 season with PSV in the Eredivisie – attracting real interest from English clubs.

[Liverpool and Arsenal](https://www.psvfans.nl/sangare-op-weg-naar-uitgang-bij-psv-wordt-flink-geinformeerd/) have been named as suitors most recently, while Premier League champions Manchester City are also in the mix according to [some sources.](https://www.psvfans.nl/sangare-op-weg-naar-uitgang-bij-psv-wordt-flink-geinformeerd/)

Gakpo, able to play in a [variety of roles](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/352825/Show/Cody-Gakpo) across the forward line, has racked up an impressive [8 goals and 13 assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/352825/Show/Cody-Gakpo) in the Dutch top flight alone – leaving little wonder why top clubs are monitoring his situation.

Sharing an update on Jurgen Klopp and FSG’s alleged desire to sign the attacker, Timmer has made a big out-of-window claim.

### The Latest: Timmer makes big Gakpo claim…

Speaking to [Voetbal](https://www.vi.nl/pro/een-nieuw-tijdperk-in-eindhoven-de-psv-dossiers) (via [PSV Fans](https://www.psvfans.nl/sangare-op-weg-naar-uitgang-bij-psv-wordt-flink-geinformeerd/)), the reporter claims Liverpool have ‘already’ held talks over Gakpo.

*“It is now a certainty that Cody Gakpo will leave PSV”,* Timmer explains.

*“The Eindhoven resident has already spoken to clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester City, while Bayern Munich is also interested.*

*“An intermediate step on his way to the absolute European top therefore seems to be his preference. At the moment, Arsenal are in pole position, but nothing is definitive.*

*“The London club will have to pay a record amount for Gakpo. PSV is aiming for at least forty million euros (£34m).”*

### The Verdict: Get it done?

While top flight rivals Arsenal currently hold the upper hand, Liverpool’s [hijack swoop for Luis Diaz](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/luis-diaz-liverpool-porto-transfer-26073127) at the expense of Tottenham has taught us that Klopp’s side are still well in contention for Gakpo’s signature.

For around £34m, the Netherlands international ace could be a real steal going by his goals/assists this season and he arguably stands out as one of European football’s most eye-catching starlets.

Called an ‘exciting’ player by former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson, the ex-shot stopper turned pundit believes Gakpo would be a ‘real hit’ across the channel and ‘especially’ at Anfield – having watched him closely for PSV ([Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/cody-gakpo-tipped-to-be-real-hit-for-liverpool-after-journalists-update-expert/)).

Robinson’s view on Gakpo could back just how shrewd a potential signing he could be for Klopp, not to mention the fact he has averaged more successful take-ons per 90 ([3](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/352825/Show/Cody-Gakpo)) than any Liverpool star this season ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/26/Show/England-Liverpool)).
