However, Manchester City are now believed to have entered the race for Gakpo, offering Tottenham competition in the final days of the window.These latest developments have now reached Spurs fans, who have taken to social media to share their reaction, with many supporters calling for City to beat their club to the Dutchman’s signature.One fan said: “Every transfer we touch turns into a saga.” Another added: “He is going City if they are interested. Go and get Mitoma now, I do not want to end the window with just two attackers.”A third supporter wants City to hijack the deal so Tottenham can turn to other options: “Man City hijack so we can get Ndiaye and El Kannous for less.”Another fan shared the same sentiment, revealing he would not mind Spurs missing out on Gakpo: “Honestly this is the only one I would not mind us missing out on.”A fifth called for Gakpo to go to City: “Let him go to City please man, we cannot keep up with this lazy recruitment.”The calls for the Liverpool man to head to Manchester continued: “Take him lmao, let us shop outside the Prem or just throw everything at MGW.”A final supporter summed it up: “Fine. Go get Morgan Gibbs-White.”Manchester City made contact with Cody Gakpo’s camp today and talks have started while #Tottenham remain in active discussions for Cody and with personal terms in place.[@FabrizioRomano] 🥇 pic.twitter.com/e0QYHoYWKo— Tottenham Tiers (@TottenhamTiers) August 24, 2026Why Spurs fans are reluctant to sign Cody GakpoThe reluctance to see their club sign Gakpo this summer stems from the Dutchman’s underwhelming display last season. Liverpool struggled in the Premier League and so did most of their attackers, with Gakpo scoring just seven goals and managing five assists in 36 appearances. A return significantly more than every Spurs attacker last season, except for Richarlison, who scored 11 goals and managed four assists.However, Gakpo’s numbers looked much better at the World Cup this summer, where he scored three times and assisted once for the Netherlands.His opening game this season could also be a hint that the 27-year-old might be in for a much better campaign, as not only did Gakpo score against Newcastle United, but he was also the highest-rated player in the entire match.MetricGakpo’s statsMinutes played90Goals1Top speed33.1 km/hDistance covered9.3 kmAccurate passes20/28 (71%)Chances created3Defensive contributions12Touches58Touches in opposition box10Passes into final third4Line-breaking passes9Ground duels won6/12 (50%)Running1.5 km (16%)Sprinting215 m (2%)Number of sprints10Gakpo’s display against Newcastle certainly shows what he can bring to this Tottenham side, who struggled in front of goal against Brentford.READ MORE: ‘I always wanted to be here’ – Savio reveals what he did every time he played Tottenham awayThe post Tottenham fans name top three alternative targets as Man City enter Cody Gakpo race appeared first on Spurs Web.
