Cody Gakpo heads for Liverpool medical after ‘record’ transfer fee agreed with PSV

PSV have announced they have reached an agreement with Liverpool over the proposed January transfer of Cody Gakpo.

The Netherlands attacker starred at the World Cup, scoring three goals in Qatar, and is now on his way to England to undergo a medical and finalise a switch to Merseyside.

“PSV and Liverpool have reached an agreement on the proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo,” an official club statement read.

“The 23-year-old attacker will leave for England imminently where he will be subjected to the necessary formalities ahead of the completion of the transfer.”

PSV general manager Marcel Brands confirmed Gakpo's anticipated transfer would be a “record” for the Eredivisie club, reportedly north of £37million.

Hirving Lozano's move to Napoli in 2019 for a reported £37m was the previous highest sale by the Dutch outfit.

A club statement added: “Both clubs are not making any announcements about the transfer fee.”

“But this is a record transfer for PSV,” said general manager Brands.
