Reports are growing suggesting that Arsenal are leading the way in the hunt to land exciting PSV attacker Cody Gakpo. He’s been one of the Eredivisie’s standout stars this season, scoring a remarkable 16 goals while registering a further 15 assists.
His goal contributions plus the dazzling nature 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. There’s a growing school of thought though that perhaps the deal was signed in order to guarantee a better fee for PSV who could still be open to selling the forward this summer.
The Gunners are of course in the market for at least one new forward as they look to replace Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who departed in January. They’re also going to be tasked with trying to find adequate replacements for both Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah who will exit in June when their contracts expire.
