Arsenal snubbed in Cody Gakpo transfer race claim amid Man Utd Cristiano Ronaldo decision

Arsenal have been told that both Manchester United and Liverpool are better options for Cody Gakpo than the Gunners. Mikel Arteta and Edu look set to enter the January transfer window in search of a striker following the injury to Gabriel Jesus.

The PSV star was linked with a Premier League move in the summer with United and Leeds both interested. Following his stellar final five months of 2022, a number of clubs are now eyeing up a potential January swoop for Gakpo, with Arsenal particularly keen.

Gakpo has 18 goals and 18 assists from 33 competitive appearances this season which equals at least one goal contribution per 90. PSV were hoping to hold out until the summer of 2023 before letting Gakpo go but reports indicate that, after an impressive World Cup and a great start to the season in his home country, if a bid around £40million comes in, he will likely leave the club in January.
