Tottenham wants Gakpo?

Cody Gakpo to Tottenham: The Latest on Spurs’ Pursuit of the Liverpool Forward

Tottenham Hotspur’s summer rebuild under Roberto De Zerbi continues to generate headlines, and one name keeps resurfacing: Cody Gakpo.
The Netherlands international, currently at Liverpool, has been linked with a move to north London throughout the 2026 transfer window. Reports suggest De Zerbi views the versatile forward as a potential key piece for his attacking plans, while Liverpool under new manager Andoni Iraola appear reluctant to let him leave.
The Current Situation
Gakpo, 27, signed a long-term contract extension with Liverpool in 2025 that runs until 2030. He has been a useful, if sometimes inconsistent, presence at Anfield since joining from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023. Last season he contributed nine goals and six assists across 52 appearances. He impressed for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup, scoring three goals in four games.
Tottenham, who finished 17th in the Premier League for a second successive season, have already spent heavily this summer (reports put the figure around £237m) on defensive and midfield reinforcements. De Zerbi has made clear he still wants attacking additions, describing the club’s business as only around 60% complete and teasing a potential “bomba” signing.
