‘His agents are already working’: Romano shares exciting update on ‘complete’ star Arsenal reportedly want

Arsenal have been linked with Cody Gakpo for a number of months now.

In October, The Athletic reported that the Gunners are among the clubs still chasing a deal for the 23-year-old.

However, Arsenal may find themselves up against a multitude of elite clubs in pursuit of Gakpo.

The Netherlands international may well be the breakout star of the 2022 World Cup.

Gakpo has played in all three of his nation’s group games, and has scored in each match.

On Tuesday, the winger opened the scoring in the Oranje’s 2-0 win over hosts Qatar.

Gakpo’s heroics have seen him join a very exclusive club.

Dennis Bergkamp, Wesley Sneijder and Johan Neeskens are the only other Dutch players to score in three consecutive World Cup matches.

‘He’s expected to leave’

In a boost for Arsenal and the many other suitors, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Gakpo’s representatives are already working on a potential transfer.

The transfer insider shared the update, along with Gakpo’s comments on Premier League interest, ahead of the Netherlands’ match today.

And after the game, Romano praised Gakpo, saying he is “literally flying” right now.

In terms of players who Arsenal could sign to make a big impact in January, Gakpo certainly looks like being one.

However, the Gunners will have plenty of competition for the ‘complete‘ attacking ace’s services.

And if Gakpo continues to shine at the World Cup, that bidding war is only going to get fiercer.
