With Cody Gakpo in the form of his life at PSV Eindhoven these days, talk of a move to the Premier League has been rife in the Netherlands.
Arsenal have been touted as an ideal destination for the young Dutchman, with some even comparing him to a Gunners legend: Thierry Henry.
However, the latest on the matter comes from France, with Foot Mercato claiming the interest from the Arsenal has ‘strengthened’ since January.
The club’s recruiting team ‘like him a lot’, who have placed him ‘at the top of the list’ for their summer recruiting drive.
However, before making any move for Gakpo, Arsenal are ‘waiting to know if they will be in the Champions League next season’.
With 21 goals and 15 assists in 45 games in all competitions this season, he is exactly the type of player who could help Mikel Arteta’s squad go to the next level, and a potential ideal replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who left the Emirates on a free in January to head to Barcelona.
That being said, he won’t just join any club, and the outlet state he will also want his next team to play in the Champions League.
An extra incentive for the Gunners, then.
