Man City enter race for Gakpo - Tuesday's gossip

Manchester City have emerged as surprise suitors for Cody Gakpo. According to Yahoo Sports, they have informed Gakpo of their interest, although there has been no formal contact between the two clubs.

Gakpo has also been linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. Yahoo Sports reports that Liverpool would only consider selling him if a "very attractive" offer is made and they sign a replacement attacker before next Tuesday.

Manchester City's interest in Gakpo comes after their opening offer of roughly €60m (£51.3m) was rejected by Liverpool, according to Yahoo Sports. BBC Sport reports that Manchester City's emergence as suitors for Gakpo comes alongside other transfer developments, including Newcastle agreeing to sign Nico Gonzalez and Manchester United being confident of signing Myles Lewis-Skelly.
