Arsenal told key reason to make move for transfer target compared to Thierry Henry

Arsenal have seemingly been interested in securing the services of highly-rated Dutch forward Cody Gakpo for some time. The PSV forward failed to complete a move to the Premier League in the summer following an impressive 2021/22 season, but his form in the Eredivisie has resulted in the rumours intensifying.

Gakpo, 23, has been on red-hot form this season for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side, with 13 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions. The PSV captain has scored nine league goals in 10 games, including a hat-trick in the 7-1 win over FC Volendam in August.

After failing to complete a Deadline Day move to Leeds United, Gakpo has continued to impress in his home nation and admitted this week how he held talks with Manchester United in the summer. However, the winger has been linked with a move to N7 ahead of the Gunners' double header against PSV.
