West Ham United transfer target Cody Gakpo has just made a huge admission about Manchester United and Liverpool.
Hammers boss David Moyes seemingly now faces huge competition from Manchester United and Liverpool for the 23-year-old’s signature.
Moyes allegedly wants to bring the talented Holland international to the London Stadium.
The Scot will undoubtedly be desperate to improve his attacking ranks at the London Stadium in the January transfer window.
However, the same can be said for Erik ten Hag and Jurgen Klopp at Old Trafford and Anfield respectively.
And it seems as though West Ham really have our work cut out, if we are to bring the Dutch flyer to East London…
Cody Gakpo makes Liverpool and Manchester United admission
When speaking to NOS, the PSV attacker admitted that it would be an honour to play for five teams, Manchester United and Liverpool included:
PSV was always my dream club. I don’t really have one for the rest. Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool. It would be an honour to play there, but I also have to see what kind of team would suit me best.
In my opinion, that completely rules West Ham out of the race to sign Gakpo. And what a huge shame that is. We really should have moved for him sooner before he came such hot property.
He could be available for around £34 million in January or next summer (The Telegraph).
We would have absolutely loved to see Gakpo at West Ham. He’s a terrific young talent with a really high ceiling but it will now be back to the drawing board for Moyes.
Gakpo has been described as a ‘sensational’ player by well-renowned Twitter account Dutch Football.
He has also been labelled as ‘superb’ by football journalist Josh Bunting. Meanwhile, One Footballhave called him a ‘world-class winger’.
He bagged a brilliant 21 goals and 14 assists in 47 games in all competitions for PSV last season (Transfermarkt).
This season, he has racked up an amazing 13 goals and 17 assists in 24 games (Transfermarkt).
Gakpo is an unreal talent who would undoubtedly fit perfectly into the starting XI’s of either Manchester United or Liverpool.
It’s such a huge shame that we probably won’t be seeing the 23-year-old in a West Ham shirt.
