LONDON'S TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR ARE ramping up their efforts to sign 27-year-old Netherlands international Cody Gakpo from Liverpool.
According to Football Insider, the club ARE preparing to submit their first official transfer request for the player.
Interest from the North London side in Gakpo HAS persisted throughout the summer. Manager Roberto De Zerbi views him as the perfect addition for the left flank, capable of complementing the revamped attacking line following the signings of Savio and Omar Marmush.
A key development in the potential deal HAS been Liverpool's breakthrough in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for the transfer of Bradley Barcola. The French winger's arrival for a fee exceeding £100 million HAS opened the door for Gakpo's departure, but Liverpool WILL need to weigh up whether they ARE prepared to let go of their indispensable utility player right before the deadline.
