Cody Gakpo is one of the most talked about players to come out of the World Cup despite the Netherlands failure to make it past the Quarter Finals stage. The 23-year-old was linked with a move to Leeds United last summer, with Southampton also keen on signing the versatile attacker.
Erik ten Hag of Manchester United was also keen on signing Gakpo, but having spent a large chunk of their budget on Lisandro Martinez and Antony, the Red Devils were unable to sanction a deal. After scoring 21 goals in 47 appearances last season, the young Dutch star picked up where he left off last season with an impressive 13 goals in 24 appearances heading into the World Cup.
It was in Qatar that Gakpo announced himself on the World stage with three goals in five appearances at the tournament. His performances with the national side has only seen speculation intensify, with Newcastle United reportedly among Gakpo's suitors.
