De Zerbi puts Jacobo on Tottenham's doorstep

English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur is targeting Dutch winger Cody Gakpo of Liverpool in a series of strong moves in the summer transfer window to bolster their squad ahead of the 2026-2027 football season.

According to media reports, Italian manager Roberto De Zerbi contacted Gakpo, a move that reflects the seriousness of the London-based club in signing the player during the current transfer period.

According to Football London, De Zerbi and Gakpo discussed the position the player prefers to play in, following his movement between the striker and left-wing roles since his transfer to Liverpool. The Dutch international began his career as a central striker, before Liverpool relied on him in the left-wing position, and recently returned to playing as a central forward, a shift that has been reflected in his performance and goal-scoring statistics over the past period.
