'Spurs have also inquired' - Sky journalist lifts lid on move for 'sensational' new target

Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas has now shared some interesting Tottenham Hotspur transfer news on a brand new target in PSV Eindhoven sensation Cody Gakpo.

The trio of already-completed deals in Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster and Yves Bissoiuma are reliably believed to be followed by yet more before the 2022/2023 Premier League season begins.

As reported, manager Antonio Conte wants to bring in a right-wing-back, central defensive star and new forward before beginning pre-season and attempting to build upon Tottenham’s find end to 21/22.

Their top four finish has granted them the riches of Champions League football and a £150 million equity increase from ENIC with those funds now being used to back Conte in the summer market.

According to Thomas, some interesting Spurs news has emerged as Fabio Paratici and co make contact to sign a brand new target.

He explained (via Twitter):

“#Spurs have also inquired about #PSV’s Cody Gakpo, I can exclusively reveal, but he is one of many #Netherlands players told by Louis van Gaal he must be playing regularly to get in the #WorldCup2022 squad.”

Called a ‘sensational player‘ by football-oranje.com editor and Dutch football expert Michael Bell, the 23-year-old has stood out as a very exciting player for PSV.

Indeed, Gakpo finished 21/22 in real style as their top goal scorer with 12 and assist-provider with a head-turning 13 (WhoScored).

The Netherlands ace also, unsurprisingly, ranked in as PSV’s best-performer by average match rating – having even attempted more shots at goal, made a higher number of key passes and completed the most dribbles per 90 out of their squad (WhoScored).

It’s little wonder Gakpo has turned Paratici’s head and is now a target for Spurs.
