Tottenham Hotspur have reaffirmed their strong interest in Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, making the Netherlands international one of their top attacking priorities as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his forward line – though Liverpool currently have no appetite to sell and have set a steep valuation of around £72 million.
Sources confirm Spurs have held fresh enquiries and positive talks with Gakpo’s representatives, with the player open to exploring a new challenge after seeing limited consistent minutes last season. De Zerbi is a known admirer, seeing him as a versatile option who can play on the left wing or through the middle – and wants to push for his signature alongside their pursuit of Savinho from Manchester City.
The interest gained momentum after Spurs’ move for Eli Junior Kroupi collapsed due to injury, pushing them back into the market for wide options. However, Liverpool’s stance remains clear for now: they plan for the 27‑year‑old to be part of Andoni Iraola’s squad, and will only consider a sale if their asking price is fully met – benchmarked against Anthony Gordon’s £69 million move to Barcelona earlier this summer.
While reports have described Spurs as the leading contender should Gakpo become available, no formal bid has been submitted and no exit talks are active at Anfield. The situation could shift only if Liverpool progress significantly in their own pursuit of Bradley Barcola, but as things stand, Gakpo remains part of their plans.
