What happened: Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly targeting Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo as part of a roster overhaul under Roberto De Zerbi. However, Liverpool currently has no plans to entertain offers for the player following a difficult 2025-26 campaign.
Why it matters: Tottenham has already spent heavily to reshape its squad, including adding Andy Robertson, but upgrading the attack remains a priority. For Liverpool, keeping Gakpo allows new head coach Andoni Iraola the opportunity to evaluate him before considering any potential sale to a domestic rival.
What to watch: Any potential movement will depend on whether Liverpool alters its stance on selling the forward.
