Just in: Tottenham working on deal for £250,000-a-week Liverpool star, he wants to leave -…

Tottenham Hotspur are working on a move for unhappy Liverpool attacker Cody Gakpo, according to SoccerNews.

Tottenham chiefs are working hard on strengthening Roberto De Zerbi's squad after a second successive disastrous Premier League season, which saw them finish 17th again and escape relegation to the Championship on the final day.

The Lewis Family have already confirmed that they can't let these two seasons be repeated, with the north London outfit expected to back their manager and make a big splash in the summer transfer window when it opens on June 15.

Spurs appear to be looking at bolstering their squad in multiple positions, with two deals already agreed to strengthen a backline that conceded 57 goals in 38 top flight games this term.

Marcos Senesi will join Andy Robertson at the club after completing free transfer moves from Bournemouth and Liverpool respectively, unless there is a last-minute hitch, and the duo look to be two smart deals right at the beginning of the summer.

Tottenham need reinforcements in attack too, with the club not expected to sign Randal Kolo Muani on a permanent basis following a loan spell from Paris Saint-Germain, while doubts have been raised over the future of two more forwards in Richarlison and Mathys Tel.

Tottenham Have 'Serious' Interest in Cody Gakpo

According to Dutch-based outlet SoccerNews, Gakpo is keen to leave Liverpool following the exit of Arne Slot as manager, with doubts over whether he will be a preferred option for new boss Andoni Iraola on the left wing.

SoccerNews claim that Tottenham are 'seriously' interested in prising the Netherlands international away from Anfield this summer, just 12 months after he signed a new £250,000-a-week deal to remain on Merseyside.

Spurs and De Zerbi are hoping to convince the attacker to make the move to London, as they work on a plan that would see him leave Anfield for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham see Gakpo as the perfect player for their big summer rebuild, although they could face competition from other Premier League clubs, as well as teams in Spain and Germany.

Tottenham Progressing With Savinho Deal

Tottenham making a serious push for Gakpo would be a surprise unless they end up failing to secure a deal for top target Savinho from Manchester City.

Fabrizio Romano has already reported that a Spurs move for the Brazilian is progressing, 12 months on from another attempt to bring him to London from Manchester.

One insider has suggested that Tottenham have already lodged a contract offer worth £120,000-a-week to the 22-year-old, as they look to add him to their frontline ahead of next season.

Like Gakpo, Savinho favours playing from the left-hand side and it's hard to see how Tottenham could sign both, unless he see one of them playing a different role.

One thing in Spurs' favour is the fact that Micky van de Ven and Xavi Simons are already at the club, and they could help convince their Dutch compatriot to join them despite a horrendous 2025-26 season.
