Arsenal interested in Cody Gakpo transfer with PSV Eindhoven winger on Mikel Arteta's list of Raphinha alternatives | The Sun

ARSENAL are reportedly interested in a move for PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo.

Mikel Arteta is keen on adding another winger to his squad this summer.

And Football London claims Gakpo has emerged as a target after Arsenal miss out on Leeds ace Raphinha to Barcelona.

Gakpo, 23, has 42 goals in 135 games for PSV and is now a regular for Holland under Louis van Gaal.

The versatile attacker is understood to be keen on a Premier League, where several compatriots including Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk ply their trade.

And Arsenal could be set to make a move before the start of the new season.

Arteta has already added forwards Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira to his side.

But he was hoping to make a third attacking signing in Raphinha, who ended up going to Barcelona despite an offer from Chelsea.

Gakpo could now be the man to salvage Arteta’s hopes for the transfer window, with the Spaniard not interested in a move for Atletico Madrid misfit Thomas Lemar.

But Arsenal may need to fend off interest from other sides, with Manchester United linked earlier this season.
