PSV and Netherlands star Cody Gakpo continues to impress for club and country this season with links over a transfer to Arsenal still circulating.
The Gunners are expected to be keen on adding a new forward and central midfielder to Mikel Arteta's squad in January. Edu Gaspar, Arsenal's new sporting director, will be keeping a close eye on the World Cup along with a number of the club's scouts as they finalise plans for the upcoming transfer window.
Arsenal hold a long-term interest in Gakpo but a summer transfer proved to be too difficult to complete with the 23-year-old keen to play regular first-team football ahead of the World Cup to ensure he starts under Louis van Gaal, football.london understands. Manchester United are set to rival the Gunners for Gakpo's signing with the Dutch forward keen on a move to the Premier League, as reported by football.london earlier this year.
