Liverpool's strategy to wrest Gakpo's signature away from Manchester United

Cody Gakpo has emerged as one of the biggest sensations of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The 23-year-old striker continues to add goals to his tally for the Netherlands this season. With his current team, PSV Eindhoven, he has 16 goals and 18 assists in 29 games, putting up some cracking figures. In fact, the Dutchman could be ready to pack his bags for the Premier League.

According to several local media, Manchester United could have closed a deal with the Dutch player to become the new signing of the Red Devils' striker. However, the British are not alone in the bidding and, although teams like Real Madrid, linked with the player, or Barça, who will find it difficult to sign him in January, remain on the sidelines, other very important clubs are trying to interfere in the plans of the Old Trafford team.

Arsenal: Mikel Arteta has made it clear that he needs a new winger in the Gunners' squad as they aim to stay top of the English league and win the Premier League title. The most wanted is Cody Gakpo, who is being eyed with great desire. It is rumoured that he could leave the Dutch club for around 36 million euros, which is below his current market value according to Transfermarkt, making Gakpo a very juicy opportunity.

Chelsea: They have also joined the bidding. The Blues, keen to bring in new big-name players, as they intend to do with Nkunku, are willing to shell out big money in January and Gakpo is on the list of top targets. The Dutch striker is one of the best in the market at the moment, so the Stamford Bridge outfit could make a significant offer.

Liverpool: Many at Anfield are keen for the PSV player to wear the Reds' shirt, as Jurgen Klopp's side are in need of an attacking reinforcement. According to several English and international media, Gakpo is the great desire to become one of the most important players of the British team. Liverpool seem to have it clear and could be the main competitors of Manchester United in the bidding for the Dutchman.
