PSV Eindhoven are looking for a club record fee as they look to cash in on talismanic forward Cody Gakpo. The Dutch international was one of the standout performers for Louis van Gaal's side at the World Cup in Qatar and has been touted for a move away from the Eredivisie side since the summer.
Chronicle Live understands Gakpo was on Newcastle United's wish list before the World Cup, but the 23-year-old's stock has risen considerably after scoring three goals in five appearances in Qatar. The winger, who is also capable of playing through the centre, has scored 13 goals in all competitions for PSV this season, picking up where he left off last season, with 21 goals in 47 appearances.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest on Gakpo with PSV director Marcel Brands naming the club's asking price. Gakpo was heavily linked with a move to Leeds United last summer, with Manchester United also keen on signing the forward, but neither were able to meet that asking price.
