Tottenham has initiated contacts with the agents of Cody Gakpo, the 27-year-old winger from Liverpool, to pursue his incorporation this summer, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. The Dutch player is the new request of Roberto De Zerbi to rebuild their offense for the upcoming Premier League season.

The London club aims to intensify negotiations in the coming days, facing opposition from the Merseyside board, which deems the footballer non-transferable and rejects discussing his departure.

Tottenham's Contacts with Cody Gakpo and alignment with Roberto De Zerbi

According to Fabrizio Romano and detailed by TEAMTalk, Tottenham executives have engaged in talks with Gakpo's circle to understand his willingness to change teams. The 27-year-old attacker does not rule out a move if the clubs reach an economic agreement, fitting into Roberto De Zerbi's tactical proposal to play on the left wing or inside.

The interest from the North London entity in the Dutch international arises after the setback in signing Eli Junior Kroupi due to injury and the complications in acquiring Ferran Torres, who is closer to Paris Saint-Germain. Despite advancement with Gakpo, Tottenham simultaneously pursues Savinho to fulfill a different role in the attack.

The Liverpool Standpoint and absences in Andoni Iraola's squad

The Liverpool board has no intention of selling Gakpo in this transfer window. Andoni Iraola sees the winger as a key piece for the 2026/2027 season, further emphasized by Hugo Ekitiké's long-term injury, keeping him off the field until the end of the year.

Despite the rise of young Rio Ngumoha and the possibility of adding new offensive reinforcements, Liverpool shuts down discussions about a transfer fee. The Reds' sporting direction points to the player's role within Iraola's tactics as grounds to reject any approaches from London.

Tottenham will monitor Cody Gakpo during the first week of August 2026 while considering submitting a formal written offer. If Liverpool maintains its refusal to negotiate for the Dutch international, Tottenham will focus its financial efforts on expediting Savinho's signing before the start of the Premier League.
