ARSENAL AND CODY GAKPO TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Arsenal are interested in signing winger Cody Gakpo. The winger is expected to leave PSV Eindhoven in January. Hence, a number of clubs have already shown interest. The Dutch club are demanding 30-35 million from the interested clubs. Hence, they are doing their best to keep the player at the club till the end of this season.
The Gunners wanted to sign a new winger in the summer transfer window. However, they failed to make any progress on the signing. Therefore, Arsenal will look to sign a winger in January.

Whereas, Manchester United are tracking him since the summer transfer window.
The report also claims another important detail. Leeds United at the moment leads the race for the winger. A number of other reports even said that the player has agreed to personal terms with Leeds. However, it looks like the recent topics say the opposite thing. The report now claims that Cody Gakpo wants a move to the bigger European sides due to their interest. Hence, Leeds United are likely to not be the first option for the Dutch winger.
Arsenal will have to move fast for the Gakpo to avoid competition. Some reports also claim that the Gunners should look to get pre-agreement of the deal done for January. Hence, the situation of Cody Gakpo will be an interesting situation to follow in the next few months.
