Man United target Cody Gakpo addresses January transfer

PSV and Netherlands star Cody Gakpo has addressed speculation over his future.

The midfielder is a January transfer target after scoring 13 goals for PSV so far this season and has added a further three international goals, so far, at the World Cup, to sit joint-top of the Golden Boot standings.

Leeds United almost wrapped up a deal for the 23-year-old in the summer, only for it to fall through, and now Manchester United have been heavily linked in the coming window as they look to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.

Asked about a possible transfer in January, Gakpo told reporters: "I’m not thinking about that now.

"I’m just really focused on the tournament, trying to keep performing well and helping the team and hopefully when we become world champion then I can think about that [the future].

"I’m just trying to keep focused and the other players don’t really talk about those things which also helps me in this situation."
