Arsenal have already been sent a huge Cody Gakpo warning as sporting director Edu Gaspar weighs up a possible £40million move for the Dutch forward. Gakpo was one of the standout performers at the World Cup and his stock has risen ahead of the January transfer window.
Despite playing predominantly as a left winger, Louis van Gaal deployed the 23-year-old in a central role for the Netherlands. Due to Gakpo's height and speed he has the attributes to play as a striker, as well as a wide forward making him a versatile option for any manager.
PSV are said to have accepted the inevitability that their star player will leave the club in January as interest from the Premier League continues to grow. Gakpo rejected a move to Manchester United in the summer in favour of staying with his boyhood club, but football.london understands the Gunners have held a long-term interest in the 23-year-old and could make a move for him in January.
