Arsenal given Cody Gakpo transfer boost as Edu eyes bargain January deal

While Arsenal enjoyed a successful summer transfer window, there were plenty of players linked with the Gunners who didn't end up making the move to the Emirates Stadium. Bids were made for the likes of Raphinha and Douglas Luiz, but players moved elsewhere or stayed at their respective clubs.

Another player whose name was mentioned with a move to Arsenal in the summer was Cody Gakpo. Linked with a host of other clubs, a transfer never materialised for the PSV Eindhoven forward, but football.london understands the 23-year-old has been on Arsenal's radar for some time.

Gakpo chose to stay in his native Netherlands this summer, but the Gunners may be presented with the perfect opportunity to sign the highly sought-after forward in January or next summer. According to Voetbal International, the Dutch side could be forced to sell their star.
