Manchester United could gift Arsenal a free run at Cody Gakpo after Erik ten Hag identified Chelsea target Rafael Leao as suitable alternative. The Netherlands international was heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium earlier in the year but a failed to materialise.
In July, football.london understood that Mikel Arteta's side were one of several clubs in England interested in the 23-year-old winger. It's believed that Gakpo would be open to a Premier League move but any decision over his future will be made after the World Cup.
However, signing the Dutchman could now be harder than first though after taking the World Cup by storm. Gakpo has found the net in each of the Netherlands' three group stage clashes, joining the likes of Wesley Sneijder and Dennis Bergkamp in an elite group of players to have ever completed such feat.
