Cody Gakpo has produced superhuman (or Erling Haaland-like) numbers for PSV in the Eredivisie this season and, whenever a player does that, clubs are bound to stand up and take notice. Only his elevated status across Europe has not exactly taken anyone by surprise.
Naturally, given his connections with Ajax and their rivals, Erik ten Hag was heavily linked with the 23-year-old this summer and some reports even suggested that talks might have been held. In the end, though, it was Antony who Manchester United set their sights on and Gakpo was made to wait for his golden opportunity.
Comments made by PSV director, Marcel Brands, indicate that might be around the corner, although next summer appears to be more likely for the Netherlands international to embark on a new adventure. It looks increasingly like that could be in the Premier League, too, but will United come calling?
