The big transfer news tonight is Liverpool suddenly moving towards pole position to sign PSV striker Cody Gakpo, and there has been a further update from David Ornstein.
The Reds haven’t been particularly linked with Gakpo in recent weeks, but news broke tonight that they are favorites to beat competition from both Manchester United and Chelsea in a deal that will cost an initial £37m. , according to The Athletic.
This could be a great job for Liverpool in the transfer market as they have suffered since losing Sadio Mane in the summer, while Luis Diaz’s injury is also a huge blow.
Gakpo could breathe new life into Jurgen Klopp’s attack, and fans will be delighted to beat the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea against such a top talent.

The 23-year-old could also have been an ideal replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo for United, while Chelsea have also struggled to score goals after a lack of impact from summer signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Raheem Sterling.
However, LFC looks like an excellent next step for Gakpo’s development, so it will be interesting to see if this deal comes to fruition in the coming days or weeks.
