Arsenal have been handed a huge problem in their attempt to sign PSV winger Cody Gakpo this summer as Manchester United are set to join the race, according to reports. The Netherlands international has continued to impress for both club and country, offering plenty of potential too at just 23-years-old.
football.london understands that the Gunners still hold an interest in Gakpo, with the versatile forward admired by manager Mikel Arteta. The PSV star is also said to be keen on a move to the Premier League, though his current focus is making the Netherlands squad for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Should Arteta manage to land the young forward, it could be the perfect end to a seemingly successful summer break for the head coach. A near-perfect pre-season was backed up with two wins from the club's first two games of the campaign, with five new faces also joining the squad.
