Arsenal are leading the race to sign PSV forward Cody Gakpo, according to Dutch outlet Voetbal International. The report claims that the 22-year-old has previously courted interest from Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Liverpool, yet it is Edu who has steered the Gunners into pole position.
Gakpo does not have a set asking price but it's expected that Mikel Arteta's side could land the Netherlands international for £35m, according to The Athletic. He's been in fine form this season — directly contributing towards 29 goals in 37 games.
The wide-man, who has been compared to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, was heavily linked with a move away in January but, after a deal failed to materialise, Gakpo penned a contract with PSV until 2026. He has since guided the Dutch outfit to within two points of league leaders Ajax.
