Liverpool's Premier League rivals ready to meet valuation for 50-goal star, terms have been agreed
Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo has reportedly requested a transfer and agreed to personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur. The move is part of a broader effort by Liverpool to manage their squad and address performance issues from the previous season.
Why it matters
This potential transfer signals a significant shift in Liverpool's roster strategy and highlights Tottenham's aggressive recruitment under new management.
Throughout most of the summer transfer window, Liverpool have been linked with moves for several players.
So far, three have been brought in which is obviously a step in the right direction but, it's still not enough for the Anfield outfit to come away with the title, or, it doesn't feel like it is anyway.
Some other players are still expected to join Liverpool but at the moment, nothing is set in stone.
However, for the Reds to make their much needed moves, some sales will also have to be made, especially since they've now ran out of non-homegrown spots among their ranks.
This realisation has led to the rumour mill going into overdrive and now, it actually seems like one of the Reds' regular starters is on his way out of L4.
Liverpool's performances last season were way off the mark.
