Gakpo speaks out amid Liverpool interest
PSV Eindhoven’s Cody Gakpo has been the subject of transfer interest from both Arsenal and Liverpool of late following an impressive season in the Eredivisie and has now confirmed that he will assess his options ahead of this summer.
The winger has scored 21 goals and registered 15 assists in 47 appearances this campaign, but is determined to not make a move that could potentially put his place in the Netherlands’ World Cup squad at risk later this year.
Gakpo told Dutch outlet De Telegraaf, via the Express : "Anything can happen this summer. I will now calmly compare all the options and see what is best for me. Staying another year is also an option. It would be a shame if I went somewhere where I wouldn't get a [game] at all and I could miss the World Cup. I'll keep that in mind."
