Man United Coach Ten Hag very Excited with the 60m rated goal-demon after choosing Man United over Arsenal

Manchester United is considered the favorite to sign PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo, who is also wanted by Arsenal.
Dean Jones told Give Me Sport that Manchester United could outbid Arsenal for Cody Gakpo. The Dutch star has drawn interest from a number of clubs, including Arsenal, and his contract with PSV Eindhoven might be terminated in January.

Manchester United was close to completing a deal for the kid. However, a last-ditch attempt to sign Antony from Ajax derailed their intentions. The links have not been able to divert Gakpo’s attention from his goal, as the winger has had a fantastic season in 2022/23.

Few players can match his goal tally, as he has been involved in 27 goal contributions in 21 games this season and is looking stronger with each passing day. His performance in PSV’s 2-0 Europa League triumph over Arsenal should pique the Gunners’ interest.

The north London club has made a strong start to the season. Fears of sinking into a quagmire of inconsistency have grown as a result of their two-game winless streak.

In their next game, they will face Nottingham Forest. And with the Tricky Trees upsetting everyone by defeating Liverpool last weekend, Arsenal will have a difficult challenge ahead of them.

PSV is said to be in desperate need of funding. And in order to do so, they must clear out some players. The Dutch titans were about to sever ways with Gakpo when Technical Director John de Jong intervened. The consequences were so serious that de Jong was forced to resign because the board was dissatisfied with his action.

If Manchester United makes a deal of around €30 million, PSV will be compelled to accept since they need to raise finances before the end of the season. Manchester United prefers to sign a center-forward over a wide player in order to improve their finishing.

However, Gakpo’s fluent goal-scoring ability could be an added advantage for Erik ten Hag, who is looking to ascend the mountain. It remains to be seen if Manchester United will increase its investment in attacking players this summer or wait until the following season. Arsenal’s interest may compel the Red Devils to act quickly.
