Liverpool have agreed a deal with PSV Eindhoven for the transfer of Dutch striker Cody Gakbo that could rise to £50m from £37m.

Gakpo scored in each of Louis van Gaal’s team’s three group matches at the World Cup and attracted widespread attention after his impressive performance in Qatar. The 23-year-old has been firmly linked with Manchester United, with manager Erik ten Hag a confirmed fan, while Newcastle were interested last summer.

The player’s representatives have reportedly met with the Old Trafford club. However, Liverpool joined the race and made rapid progress in negotiations with PSV, who intended to keep their homegrown talent until the end of the season.

PSV tweeted: “PSV and LFC have reached an agreement on the proposed transfer of Cody Jaco. The 23-year-old striker will soon leave for England where he will undergo the necessary procedures before completing the transfer.

Jurgen Klopp is keen to renew his midfield with Jude Bellingham as a favourite, although Borussia Dortmund are unlikely to consider selling the England international until the summer. The Liverpool manager says the Anfield club are “ready” to make a move in the January market as they look to move closer to Champions League qualification in the second half of the season.
