Chelsea legend Ruud Gullit has sent a message to Cody Gakpo as Tottenham Hotspur attempt to poach him from Liverpool.According to reports from the Netherlands, Spurs have already reached an agreement in principle on personal terms with Gakpo, who is being heavily linked with a move away from Anfield in the dying stages of the transfer window.Reports indicate that the Liverpool man is keen to complete a move to North London amid fears that he will not have a prominent role under Andoni Iraola at Anfield next season.According to a recent update from TEAMtalk, Gakpo is convinced that a move to Spurs would be the right next step in his career after hearing Roberto De Zerbi’s plans for him.Photo by Visionhaus/Getty ImagesRuud Gullit tells Cody Gakpo he needs regular minutes amid Tottenham interestThe Netherlands international was one of several Liverpool players who struggled last term, but he did impress in this summer’s World Cup, scoring three times in the tournament.Gullit believes Gakpo’s recent issues are down to him not being backed at Anfield, and insisted that the forward can blossom under a manager who gives him the confidence to play at his best.When asked about the 27-year-old, the former Chelsea defender told NY Sports Day (via Football.London): “His main issue has been consistency of minutes – in one week, out the next. I still rate him highly. During their title-winning campaign, he was superb.“Gakpo needs a manager who shows complete faith in him and grants him the freedom to make mistakes without an immediate benching. When he plays with confidence, he has proven how impactful he is for Liverpool.”Spurs still have plenty of work to do to land GakpoTottenham are still a long way away from the finishing line in their quest to land the former PSV Eindhoven man before the window slams shut.Reports indicate that Liverpool want to sign several attackers before listening to offers for Gakpo, who scored and assisted in their 2-0 win over Como on Sunday.In fact, according to The Athletic, Tottenham have not even begun formal negotiations with Liverpool over Gakpo, with the Merseyside club continuing to maintain that the Dutchman is not for sale.READ MORE: Fabrizio Romano gives clear response to big question on Tottenham’s striker pursuitThe post Ruud Gullit thinks £60m transfer to Tottenham could get attacker back to his best appeared first on Spurs Web.
