Liverpool could be facing a major summer shake-up as reports from the Netherlands claim Cody Gakpo wants out of Anfield.
Should Liverpool sell Cody Gakpo?
Fresh transfer speculation has emerged surrounding Dutch forward Cody Gakpo after reports from the Netherlands suggested the Liverpool attacker is considering a move away from Anfield.
The rumour, which quickly gained traction through an article covered by Sport Witness, claims that Gakpo has informed Liverpool of his desire to seek a new challenge, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
While no official confirmation has been provided by Liverpool or the player’s representatives, the story has already sparked intense debate among supporters of both clubs.
Gakpo remains one of Liverpool’s most versatile attacking options, capable of playing across the front line and contributing both goals and assists. Since arriving from PSV Eindhoven, the Dutch international has developed into a reliable performer in high-pressure matches.

Spurs have been searching for additional attacking quality as they continue to build a squad capable of competing for major honours. Adding a player of Gakpo’s pedigree would provide depth, creativity, and valuable Premier League experience.
From Liverpool’s perspective, allowing a proven attacker to leave could create questions about squad depth. The club has undergone several transitions in recent seasons, with younger players emerging alongside established stars. Gakpo’s ability to operate in multiple tactical systems has made him a useful asset, particularly during periods when injuries have affected attacking options.
Financial considerations could also influence any potential negotiations. Tottenham would likely need to present a substantial offer to convince Liverpool to part with a player who remains under contract and is still considered to be entering the prime years of his career. Any deal would also depend on Liverpool’s plans in the transfer market and whether a suitable replacement could be secured.
For Tottenham fans, the possibility of signing a player of Gakpo’s calibre is understandably exciting. His pace, technical ability, and eye for goal fit the profile of the dynamic attackers the club has targeted in recent years.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fans will have mixed feelings about the rumours after what was undoubtably a tough season for Gakpo, while some supporters would like the Dutch forward to remain committed to the club’s long-term ambitions.
Until official statements emerge, the story remains firmly in the category of transfer speculation. However, with the summer transfer window approaching and clubs preparing for another busy period of business, Gakpo’s future is certain to remain a major talking point in the football world.
