Arsenal and Manchester United have been told they have the advantage in the Cody Gakpo transfer race over Liverpool as both clubs could offer the Dutchman more minutes on the pitch. The injury to Gabriel Jesus for the Gunners and the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Old Trafford means both Arsenal and United are on the lookout in January for a new attacker.
Liverpool meanwhile, bought Darwin Nunez in the summer which would mean spots in their frontline would be harder for Gakpo to hold down, despite the long-term injuries to Diogo Jota and Luiz Diaz.
Premier League interest in Gakpo is understandable given he boasts a hugely impressive goal-contribution record for the 2022/23 season for both club and country in all competitions. From 34 appearances across six different competitions, the 23-year-old has has been involved in 36 goals.
