Liverpool fans will be keeping an eye on the World Cup to see which players we could sign and it seems the club has been alerted to the talent of at least one individual.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano for CaughtOffside: ‘Liverpool recently sent their scouts out to watch Cody Gakpo while he was playing for PSV… This is normal interest, but there is no meeting scheduled between the agents and Liverpool from today.
“With the performances shown in the World Cup, interest in Gakpo is growing, and Manchester United are still in the race to sign him.”

With three goals in his first three matches in the tournament, scoring in every game as well, Cody Gakpo has attracted a lot of interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Hearing that the Reds are among these teams is certainly exciting, but it’s hard to see that we’d be willing and able to spend the large fee it probably takes to get him away from PSV.
Given the big money deal that was agreed in the summer for Darwin Núñez, the desire for new midfield options and the uncertainty over club ownership, it’s hard to see us wanting to break the bank for the highly rated 23-year-old. . .
The attacker who can play in all three front-of-the-field positions still has three and a half years left on his current Eredivisie contract, so it will be a big ask to secure him.
If we were to spend a lot in January or the summer, then many will expect the likes of Jude Bellingham and Frenkie de Jong to take precedence at this point.
