Alex Livesey/Getty Images Tottenham Hotspur have lodged an offer of £60m with Liverpool for Cody Gakpo and, though it is under consideration, there is ‘a good chance it will be rejected’. Tottenham have held an interest in Gakpo since June and are keen to prise the Liverpool forward away from Anfield as they look to add another marquee signing this summer.

De Zerbi’s side have moved quickly for the Netherlands international, putting in a bid of £60m, according to Dutch outlet Soccernews.nl. Liverpool, who are also looking to sign Bradley Barcola, could need to offload Gakpo before landing the Paris Saint-Germain star; Gakpo himself has not agreed to a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yet.

Another attacker Spurs are linked with is Manchester City’s Savinho, with De Zerbi having distinct roles in mind for him and Gakpo. Whether De Zerbi can end the summer with both Gakpo and Savinho now remains very much to be seen and doing so will cost Tottenham a substantial sum.
