Tottenham Hotspur is actively pursuing the signing of Cody Gakpo, the Liverpool attacker, as they prepare to make an improved offer following a failed £60 million bid for the 27-year-old Netherlands international. According to a report from Soccernews.NL, the club aims to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes.

Roberto De Zerbi, Tottenham's manager, is a strong supporter of Gakpo and is advocating for the transfer behind the scenes. The need for enhanced quality and depth in Tottenham’s attacking lineup is evident, and signing Gakpo could be a strategic move. He is known for his versatility, capable of playing across the front three, and has consistently demonstrated his goal-scoring ability. Recently, Gakpo scored a stunning goal against Newcastle United in Liverpool’s opening match of the Premier League season.

Since joining Liverpool, Gakpo has recorded an impressive tally of 51 goals and 23 assists. However, the situation remains complex as Manchester City is also monitoring Gakpo, potentially complicating Tottenham's efforts.

Liverpool faces its own challenges, lacking depth in their attacking unit. The club has been exploring options to bolster their squad, targeting players like Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye. If Liverpool secures these signings, they might consider allowing Gakpo to leave, although doing so without adequate replacements could prove detrimental.
