Man Utd deal Nottingham Forest transfer blow

Manchester United have reportedly 'registered their interest' in apparent Nottingham Forest transfer target Cody Gakpo.

The PSV Eindhoven winger is said to be attracting interest from as many as four Premier League clubs, of which the Reds are reportedly the only outfit to have made an offer at this stage. Arsenal and Leeds United are also credited with an interest alongside the Red Devils.

Gakpo has caught the eye in the Eredivisie over recent seasons and already has three goals and a pair of assists in PSV's opening trio of matches this season. The seven-cap Netherlands international has also scored twice for Holland at the age of 23.

ESPN report that they have been told by sources that Man United have 'registered their interest' in Gakpo, with the player's representatives alerted by the club's recruitment staff. They add that a bid has though yet to be submitted.

Those same sources also say that there is indeed interest from other top flight clubs in England but that Gakpo would be 'keen' on a move to Old Trafford should terms be agreed. PSV are said to value the player at around £35 million and are unlikely to accept anything less.
