Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham have been told whether Liverpool are likely to change their stance on Cody Gakpo as we enter the dying stages of the transfer window.The Tottenham boss made it clear last month that he wants the club to sign their top targets, rather than settling for backup options.It has been reported over recent weeks that De Zerbi is confident that both Savinho and Cody Gakpo will be Spurs players by the end of the month, but as time runs out in the transfer window, Tottenham fans are getting increasingly nervous.The deal for the Liverpool man, in particular, does not appear straightforward, with the Reds reportedly not listening to offers for the Dutchman at the moment.Photo by Liverpool FC/Liverpool FC via Getty ImagesAndoni Iraola wants to keep Tottenham target Cody Gakpo at LiverpoolWe have been hearing over the last few days that Gakpo has already spoken with De Zerbi and is keen on making the move to North London.However, talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook has now said that even if the forward wants to make the move, the Merseyside club are unlikely to consider selling him.He explained that Andoni Iraola has been impressed with Gakpo in pre-season and believes he can get the best out of the Netherlands international.When asked about Spurs’ pursuit of Gakpo, he said on talkSPORT: “I don’t think it will happen. Speaking to sources at Liverpool, they think he’s had a good pre-season under Iraola, they think he’s a player that Iraola can get the best out of.“I think he probably would be open to the move, but at the moment that’s not one I expect to happen between now and deadline day. So, it looks like no Gakpo, and to make matters worse, fresh doubts have now been raised surrounding the Savinho deal too, despite the fact that the Brazilian is desperate to get the transfer over the line.”Why Liverpool could change their stance on GakpoSeveral sources have said that Liverpool would need to sign multiple attackers before putting Gakpo up for sale, but the good news for Tottenham is that the Reds appear to be doing just that.Spurs Web has relayed information suggesting that Iraola’s men are pushing ahead with moves for PSG pair Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye.If those two deals come to fruition, Tottenham will hope that they can tempt Liverpool into selling Gakpo with a lucrative offer.READ MORE: Tottenham expressed interest in Cody Gakpo’s Liverpool teammate, but it was a firm noThe post ‘I don’t think it will happen’ – Tottenham fans receive worst Cody Gakpo update yet appeared first on Spurs Web.
