Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has opened up on the club’s search for a new forward after missing out on Cody Gakpo to Liverpool.
The Reds are in advanced talks to sign the PSV Eindhoven forward ahead of the January transfer window. The ECHO understands that Liverpool will pay an initial fee of £37m with add-ons taking the overall deal above £40m.
Gakpo is increasingly likely to become Liverpool’s first signing of the January window, as Jurgen Klopp looks to add reinforcements into his squad for the second half of the season. It follows the trend set by the signing of Luis Diaz from the start of this year when he arrived from Porto.
