Liverpool weighed down by transfer speculation surrounding Cody Gakpo

John Aldridge urges Liverpool's management to avoid selling Cody Gakpo amid rising transfer rumors. As the summer transfer window deadline approaches on September 1, Gakpo, linked with a move to Tottenham, has raised concerns for manager Andoni Iraola. Aldridge highlights the necessity for Liverpool to maintain squad depth following a disappointing fifth-place finish last season. He argues that selling Gakpo without securing a replacement would be unwise, especially considering the team's ambitions to improve this season. The club's decision on Gakpo may depend on their pursuit of Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.
