Highly-rated PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo has confirmed that he will not rush into making a decision on his future this summer, as speculation continues to mount.
The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League in recent weeks and months, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool all being credited with interest in his signature. He has been excellent for PSV this season, scoring 21 goals and grabbing 15 assists in all competitions.
Having produced such impressive numbers in an attacking sense, it is only natural that interest in his services is high. Arsenal have expressed the highest level of interest in him and have already, according to the Mail , held talks with him about a move.

And with the opening of the summer window now looming large, Gakpo has issued an update on his future. He has refused to rule out the possibility of a move, but has outlined the importance of it being the right one.
"Anything can happen this summer," Gakpo told De Telegraaf. "I will now calmly compare all the options and see what is best for me.
"Staying another year is also an option. It would be a shame if I went somewhere where I wouldn't get a job at all and I could miss the World Cup. I'll keep that in mind."
United, who are set to experience a period of transition under Erik ten Hag this summer, are already being linked with one Eredivisie winger in the form of Ajax star Antony, meaning it is possible that Gakpo could also creep into their recruitment plans. However, the PSV ace has previously expressed his admiration for watching both Liverpool and Arsenal, meaning he could favour a move to either of those two clubs.
"The Premier League is a big league," the Dutchman told The Sun in a previous interview. "Virgil van Dijk plays there with Liverpool so I like to watch them.
'We are not the same kind of league but I think we try to look at the Prem and learn about it. Everybody wants to play one time in the Prem. I don't favour one team but I like Arsenal a lot.
"I looked up to [Thierry] Henry when I was younger because he was a tall guy who played on the wing."
