Manchester United defender Tyrell Malacia has given his opinion on the transfer links surrounding Cody Gakpo to Manchester United.
As the January transfer window approaches, rumors linking the players with a move to red half Manchester begin to mount.
During the World Cup, Gakpo has excelled, scoring in every group game and attracting interest from several European clubs.
The Netherlands beat the United States 3-1 to advance to the quarterfinals of the competition.
According to the Manchester Evening News, Malacia has provided an assessment of his international teammate Gakpo following strong transfer interest.
The PSV star has already scored 13 goals and registered 17 assists in all competitions this season.
Links in the summer suggested he was close to joining the club, but United opted to sign Antony instead.
Since holding talks with Ten Hag in the summer, the winger has been impressive for club and country alike.
It is now reported that some of the top clubs in the Premier League and across Europe are considering starting talks in January.
If Gakpo does come to Old Trafford next year, Malacia will be delighted to host him, judging by his recent comments to the media.
The left-back told The Athletic: “He’s good enough for the top, no question about it”, following his World Cup performances.
Gakpo refused to talk about his future following his country’s latest victory in the competition.
It is clear that the winger is focused on the World Cup and will then return to his club to consider his future.
The Red Devils are reportedly arguing backstage about who they will sign in the January market.
