Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing PSV Eindhoven striker Cody Gakpo this January.
United are on the hunt for a striker in the winter transfer window and Gakpo is a name Erik ten Hag admires.
The 23-year-old has been in exceptional form all season, including the World Cup in Qatar, where he scored three goals in five games for the Netherlands.
With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, United fall short on the offensive front.
Jadon Sancho has not yet been deemed fit to start for Ten Hag.
Ten Hag will be desperate to sign a striker this winter window, with Gakpo one of the favorites to join United.
According to talkSPORT, PSV have set a price of £45m for their star man.
Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy stated: “If I have the option, I prefer [Gakpo to leave in] summer, but it can also be now”.
“You just know there comes a time when you can’t say no.”
Gakpo would bring a new dynamic to United’s forward line.
He is fast and direct, but more than just a goalscorer.
His technique and linkage with his teammates in and around the opposition box make him a great center forward.
