Speculation regarding Cody Gakpo’s transfer status intensified as the football transfer window approached its close. Initially, reports suggested that Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur had expressed interest in the Netherlands international, with Manchester City reportedly enquiring about his availability. While Liverpool’s initial stance was to avoid a sale, media discussions indicated his future could be decided within a week.

By the end of the month, the reported move for Gakpo collapsed, and he is expected to remain at his current club until at least January. This development influenced other market activities, as Manchester City reportedly shifted its focus toward Iliman Ndiaye, effectively ending Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Gakpo.
