Arsenal given huge Cody Gakpo transfer hope ahead of Mikel Arteta's PSV scouting mission

Arsenal have been given potential hope in their move for PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo in the upcoming transfer windows, according to the latest reports. The Gunners were linked with a switch for the 23-year-old in the summer, but failed to get a move over the line to add depth to their forward line.

football.london understands Gakpo would be open to a Premier League move, but any decision over his future will be made after the World Cup. That's because he will be looking to have an impact on the tournament with the Dutch national team, which he has become a more regular feature in since making his debut last year.

Amid such interest, PSV coach Ruud van Nistelrooy admitted a departure for Gakpo was inevitable: "It's not only Premier League clubs after him. His quality and form over the last three or four months has been exceptional. His stats and goals draw the attention of big clubs in European football. He is 23 and is focusing on his career with us at club level and having a great World Cup. He wants to continue that. When the time comes he will make decisions."
