Cody Gakpo is of interest to many across Europe after a wonderful start to the season and they may have received a boost in the bid to sign the Dutch talent.
Gakpo was linked with a move to various English clubs in the summer including Manchester United and Arsenal but a transfer never materialized.
They have continued their interest in him with a view to a future move and judging by his start to the season, there will be massive interest in him once again.

"In the end the deal didn't go through, which was a shame, for me and my development, and because Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world, but also for PSV, because to transfer a player to Manchester United is a good thing for the club."
Arsenal are also keeping an eye on the player, while others like Leeds United, Everton and Southampton are also keeping tabs on the situation.
