Leeds United set to beat Manchester United to Cody Gakpo with 'personal terms agreed'

Cody Gakpo Leeds United Jesse Marsch Manchester Whites PSV Crystal Palace Luis Sinisterra

Leeds United have reportedly agreed personal terms with Cody Gakpo and are now in talks with PSV regarding their £30million asking price for the Dutch player of the year. The Mirror claims the Whites are set to beat Manchester United to Gakpo's signature after an impressive start to the 2022/23 campaign.

Erik ten Hag wanted to sign both Gakpo and Brazilian winger Antony in the summer - but Manchester United were unable to stump up the funds with Ajax cranking up their demands for their star asset to £86million. Leeds had hoped to complete a deadline day move for Gakpo, sending a private jet to the Netherlands in hope of securing a deal.

However, PSV technical director John de Jong reportedly blocked the move - a call that has now seen the two companies part way. Reports suggest Gakpo needed to be sold to balance the books after the Dutch club failed to qualify for the Champions League.

Reading alone, together is all the rage at book doofs and reading parties. What makes it social?
It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
