Arsenal transfer target Cody Gakpo has delivered a fresh verdict on his future after Manchester United entered the race to sign the Dutch talent.
The Gunners are very interested in signing the 23-year-old but a deal could prove difficult due to Gakpo's desire to play regular first team football ahead of the 2022 World Cup this winter, football.london understands. The Netherlands international is one of many talented wingers that have been linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer, with Yeremy Pino, Moussa Diaby and Leroy Sane also rumoured to be on technical director Edu's shortlist.
Gakpo established himself as one of Eredivisie's most promising attackers last term, netting 21 goals and providing a further 15 assists across all competitions. The 23-year-old is currently focusing on securing Champions League football this season with PSV Eindhoven taking another step to achieving that after beating Monaco 4-3 over two legs in the third qualifying round.
