  • Tottenham is reportedly targeting Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo to strengthen their attack.
  • The club has struggled with a severe lack of goals since Son Heung-min's departure.
  • Tottenham is facing a relegation battle despite the ongoing World Cup.

Despite the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup, Tottenham Hotspur remains busy in the transfer market as they look to address their dire goal-scoring issues. The club, which narrowly avoided relegation, has been plagued by a significant lack of offensive firepower since the departure of star player Son Heung-min.

According to British outlet 'CaughtOffside,' Tottenham has set its sights on Liverpool's Dutch forward, Cody Gakpo. The North London club is reportedly preparing to make an official move for the 27-year-old attacker in an effort to bolster their frontline.

Gakpo joined Liverpool in January 2023 and has since made over 50 appearances for the club, scoring 13 goals. His potential acquisition by Tottenham could provide a much-needed boost to their struggling offense as they aim to climb the Premier League table and steer clear of the relegation zone.

The transfer window presents a critical opportunity for Tottenham to reinforce their squad and improve their performance in the upcoming season. Securing a player of Gakpo's caliber could be a pivotal step in their efforts to rebuild and compete at a higher level.
