Dominoes about to fall that will see Tottenham try to finalise Cody Gakpo's arrival from Liverpool
Tottenham Hotspur will surely be waiting to get an opening to sign Cody Gakpo from Liverpool.
The Netherlands international has been heavily linked with a move to the North London outfit this transfer window.
As things stand, the Lilywhites may be waiting on other moves to finalise before making a push for the 27-year-old winger.
Spurs could try to close a deal for Gakpo once other avenues are exhausted.
There seem to be multiple moving parts and the North Londoners will certainly hope things work in their favour.
Roberto De Zerbi is expecting more significant incoming transfers in N17 and the next one may be Gakpo.
How Tottenham can finally get Cody Gakpo transfer opening
Liverpool don't want to sell Gakpo amid talks with Tottenham, but that could change soon.
Sportmediaset journalist Orazio Accomando expects a domino effect to begin in the European transfer market.
First, it looks like Ferran Torres is close to joining Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona, with an agreement reached between the two clubs.
That would then open the doors for Bradley Barcola to possibly move to Liverpool.
If the Reds do get a deal over the line for the 23-year-old French winger, Spurs will then try to find a solution with the Merseyside outfit for Gakpo.
What Cody Gakpo transfer to Spurs would mean for Roberto De Zerbi's squad
De Zerbi will undoubtedly be delighted to see the Tottenham hierarchy back him with early moves for Jan Paul van Hecke, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.
Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson and Martin Dubravka have also been added to the North London outfit's squad.
Spurs have been relatively quiet since their initial transfer business, but they arguably need more quality in their ranks before deadline day.
The Lilywhites look a bit toothless up front with Dominic Solanke and Richarlison.
There's also a lack of quality out wide, which Gakpo's arrival would help fix, but it remains to be seen how the situation will progress.
Tottenham have shown glimpses of quality during pre-season, but it's the attacking quality that fans in N17 will be most worried about heading into next season.
