Man united preparing a move for Gakpo
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is keen on signing £35m-rated Cody Gakpo, who scored 21 goals in 47 games last season, to boost his attack; United missed out on striker Benjamin Sesko, who has joined RB Leipzig, and recently withdrew their interest in Bologna’s Marko Arnautovic
Manchester United are preparing a move for £35m-rated PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo.
United boss Erik ten Hag, who shares the same agency as Gakpo, is keen on signing the 23-year-old to boost his attack.
Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia have been signed in defence along with midfielder Christian Eriksen already this summer, but the Dutchman has been unable to strengthen his front line yet.
Gakpo, currently managed by former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, has emerged as a more long-term solution to the lack of quality options in the forward department.
The Netherlands international is a product of PSV’s academy and scored 21 goals in 47 games last season.
PSV’s stance has been if a club with strong financial resources come in, it is implausible to retain their star players.
