Liverpool intends to keep Cody Gakpo despite Spurs and Man City interest

Liverpool is set to retain Cody Gakpo amid strong interest from Tottenham and Manchester City. The 27-year-old forward has attracted attention since Liverpool is pursuing additional wide players like Bradley Barcola and Yankuba Minteh. Despite the risk of becoming redundant at Anfield, sources indicate that Gakpo remains a priority for head coach Andoni Iraola, who has been impressed by his performances in preseason and the opening match against Newcastle. The club values Gakpo around £72 million but has no plans to allow him to leave this summer.
