Manchester United could land key transfer target thanks to Erik ten Hag

Reports are growing suggesting that exciting PSV attacker Cody Gakpo could be on the move this summer. He’s been one of the Eredivisie’s standout players this season, scoring 16 goals while registering a further 15 assists.

His goal contributions plus the high standard of his performances have attracted the interest of many top European sides, although interest cooled at the beginning of the year when the 22-year-old opted to sign a new deal with the Dutch side until 2026. Although that initially deterred some interested parties, there’s now a growing school of thought that perhaps the deal was signed in order to guarantee a better transfer fee for PSV who it’s believed could still be open to selling the forward this summer.

Manchester United are of course going to be in the market for at least one new forward as they look to replace Edinson Cavani when his contract expires. They’re also going to be looking for a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo who is expected to leave next year at the conclusion of his own current deal.
