Tottenham Hotspur are expected to step up their pursuit of Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, with discussions set to enter a crucial phase in the coming weeks, Softfootball reports.
Gakpo has emerged as one of Spurs’ leading targets this summer, alongside Manchester City winger Savinho, who also remains high on the club’s shortlist.
However, any potential move for the Dutch international will depend on Liverpool’s stance and valuation, as Gakpo is currently not considered a player available for transfer.
The North London club continue to be active in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
The latest transfer developments come after Tottenham secured an impressive 2-1 victory over Chelsea in a thrilling pre-season friendly in Sydney. Richarlison netted a dramatic stoppage-time winner despite Spurs finishing the match with 10 men.
Tottenham were forced to play the closing stages a man down after substitute Kevin Danso received a straight red card only three minutes after coming on, but Ange Postecoglou’s side showed resilience to hold on and claim the win.
