Arsenal target Cody Gakpo likened to Manchester City star amid Edu January transfer plan

Arsenal transfer target Cody Gakpo has been one of the shining lights of the World Cup so far, scoring three goals in the Netherlands group stage campaign. The PSV forward struck in all three of his country's group games which saw him join Wesley Sneijder, Dennis Bergkamp and Johan Neeskens as a Dutch player to score in three consecutive World Cup games.

Several clubs have been heavily linked with Gakpo ahead of the January transfer window after Manchester United and Leeds showed interest in the Dutch international over the summer. The 23-year-old now has an impressive 18 goals and 18 assists from 32 games in all competitions this season.

Mikel Arteta and Edu are set for a hugely important January transfer window as they seek to bolster their squad ahead of a potential Premier League title challenge. The Gunners sit top of the league by five points with the domestic season paused for the World Cup in Qatar.
