PSV star Cody Gakpo is the centre point of an intriguing transfer battle after his World Cup performances have prompted Arsenal and Manchester United's interest. Erik Ten Hag wanted to make Gakpo his fourth arrival from the Eredivisie in the summer, but a deal never materialised, with Arsenal also linked with him.
A mid-season World Cup provided Gakpo with the opportunity to send a transfer reminder to those teams interested in acquiring his services and it was one the Dutch forward duly took. The 23-year-old drove Arsenal fans crazy with his displays as the Netherlands talisman in their World Cup group stage campaign where he scored in all three of their group matches.
Gakpo has also been in fine form for his club, who he has captained on 14 occasions in all competitions this season, notching 21 Eredivisie goal contributions (nine goals and 12 assists) in 14 games.
