Leeds United continue to be named as a Cody Gakpo’s suitor after failing to secure the services of the PSV Eindhoven star in the latter stages of the summer transfer window.
Last month, Dutch journalist Rik Elfrink reported the Whites will make a new attempt to sign the forward in January.
The Eredivisie side’s refusal to sell the 23-year-old to Leeds in the summer is again a topic of discussion for De Telegraaf.
PSV general director Marcel Brands will continue to look after the technical issues until the winter market. The Netherlands international’s future will be one of the pressing issues the chief will have to deal with in January.
With Jesse Marsch’s side in the picture to sign the attacker, the newspaper details the Dutch club’s stance on his potential sale.
From a financial point of view, it’s claimed PSV ‘cannot actually refuse’ an offer of €30m or more for Gakpo because they ‘urgently need a blow in the transfer market to prevent the season from ending deep in the red’.
At the same time, selling Gakpo in January could have an impact on their sporting goals for this season, especially since he has 13 goals and 14 assists from 21 matches.
