Spurs are looking to hijack Liverpool’s plans by pursuing one of Arne Slot’s trusted players, who is reportedly keen to leave following Andoni Iraola’s appointment at Anfield.

Cody Gakpo is reportedly considering his future at Liverpool following Arne Slot’s departure, with Tottenham emerging as one of several clubs monitoring the Dutch forward ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Reds have entered a new era under Andoni Iraola after a disappointing campaign that ended without silverware and a fifth-place Premier League finish. Major changes are already underway at Anfield, with Andy Robertson joining Tottenham, Ibrahima Konate expected to move to Real Madrid, and Mohamed Salah also set to depart.

Gakpo endured a difficult season compared to his previous campaign, and reports suggest he could now seek a fresh challenge. Tottenham are said to be preparing a move for the Netherlands international as Roberto De Zerbi continues his squad rebuild in North London.

Spurs face competition from clubs across England, Spain, and Germany, but are hopeful their ambitious project can persuade Gakpo to make the switch. A move would also strengthen the growing Dutch contingent at Tottenham, where Xavi Simons and Micky van de Ven are already key figures.
