A new report has revealed what Cody Gakpo is thinking about his future after Tottenham Hotspur expressed an interest in his services.
Spurs have made a quick start to the transfer window, and reports indicate that Tottenham will continue their summer spending spree as they eye a major rebuild of their squad.
Over recent days, it has emerged that Spurs expressed an interest in Gakpo, who scored nine times and provided six assists for the Reds across all competitions last season.
It was alleged that Tottenham Hotspur were drawing up a plan to convince both the player and Liverpool, and the Lilywhites have now received a potential boost in their pursuit of the forward.

TEAMtalk have now confirmed that Spurs are one of several clubs eyeing the Liverpool forward, whose situation is described as ‘intriguing’.
The report claims that the Dutchman has concerns over his role under new head coach Andoni Iraola after he replaced Arne Slot at the helm.
The website claims to have heard from sources that Gakpo is unhappy at the prospect of finding himself behind Rio Ngumoha in Iraola’s pecking order next season.
The 27-year-old has voiced these concerns to people around him, and it is revealed that his camp is now ‘carrying out due diligence on potential opportunities elsewhere’ should the Merseyside club greenlight his departure.
