Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly preparing a £60 million bid for Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo as the North London club steps up plans to strengthen its attack ahead of the new season.
The Netherlands international has emerged as a surprise target for Spurs, who are pursuing experienced Premier League-proven players as part of Roberto De Zerbi’s squad rebuild.
Gakpo’s future at Anfield has become increasingly uncertain despite Liverpool facing significant changes in their forward line. With Mohamed Salah departing and Federico Chiesa also expected to leave, the Reds are still understood to be open to considering offers for the Dutch winger.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently suggested Liverpool could be willing to discuss a sale if a substantial proposal arrives.
According to reports, Tottenham are now ready to test Liverpool’s resolve with an offer worth around £60 million.
Spurs are believed to view Gakpo as an ideal addition due to his Premier League experience, versatility and ability to operate across multiple attacking positions.
The 27-year-old endured a difficult campaign last season, but remains highly regarded across Europe and continues to attract interest from several clubs.
Tottenham’s pursuit forms part of a wider recruitment drive as the club seeks to add proven performers to its squad. Veteran defenders Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi are already expected to arrive, while Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke and midfielder Joao Palhinha remain on the club’s radar.
Liverpool’s stance may ultimately depend on their own transfer plans.
The Merseyside club are actively exploring major attacking reinforcements and have been linked with high-profile moves for RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande and Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola.
Should Liverpool succeed in landing new attacking talent, a sale of Gakpo could become more likely.
Reports in the Netherlands have also suggested the winger is considering his future following Liverpool’s decision to part company with fellow Dutchman Arne Slot.
For now, no formal offer has been submitted, but Tottenham are reportedly positioning themselves at the front of the queue as speculation surrounding Gakpo’s future continues to gather pace.
A £60 million bid would represent a significant test of Liverpool’s intentions and could spark one of the summer’s most intriguing Premier League transfer battles.
