Arsenal 'in pole to sign £42million rated PSV star Cody Gakpo'

Arsenal are reportedly favourites to sign PSV Eindhoven's £42million rated winger Cody Gakpo 

The 22-year-old has scored 16 goals across all competitions to go with 15 assists in his 37 appearances so far this season, keeping the club in the hunt for their first Eredivisie title since the 2017-18 season.

Such form has unsurprisingly drawn the interest of European giants, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all reportedly accelerating their interest in the £42million-rated star after it was claimed PSV would be open to selling in the summer if they receive a suitable offer.

Dutch publication Voetbal International, have now reported that the Gunners are favourites to sign the dazzling winger.

Mikel Arteta's side were strongly linked to the Holland international during the last transfer window following Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang's departure and their need to to strengthen in attack.

However, they were dealt a setback as PSV renewed the Dutch star's contract until 2026.   

Despite his new contract, it will be tough for the Eredivisie side to keep the player given the interest in him from clubs across Europe.
