Manchester United and Arsenal have been boosted in their interest in winger Cody Gakpo after learning he has an agreement in place to leave PSV Eindhoven if their asking price is met.
The Dutch club fended off other clubs to keep hold of their star man in the summer but are already preparing for the new wave of potential suitors when the January transfer window opens. Gakpo looks poised to be involved in the Qatar World Cup over winter and could generate more interest in his signature with a good showing at the tournament.
United and Arsenal are among the clubs who have kept tabs on him throughout recent months, along with Southampton and Leeds United, who failed with a late bid for his services. But PSV director of football Marcel Brands has conceded the club may be forced to sell if any clubs return with an improved offer.
