**Liverpool winger Cody Gakpo has decided which club he wants to join, hours after helping the Reds draw 2-2 against Nottingham Forest.**
After scoring in their opening game against Newcastle United, Gakpo assisted Alexander Isak for his first goal of the campaign in their 2-2 draw at home to Nottingham Forest on Saturday lunchtime.
Andoni Iraola moved Gakpo to the right wing, with new signing Victor Munoz starting on the left, as the Dutchman was a rare shining light in another topsy-turvy performance.
Unlike many of his teammates, the 27-year-old has made a solid start to the new Premier League campaign, but his displays haven't stopped speculation over his future.
Throughout the summer, it's been reported that Gakpo is open to leaving Anfield, and after Liverpool agreed an eye-watering £123 million deal for Bradley Barcola, it was felt that the Frenchman's arrival would enable the Dutch international to depart.
Barcola is due to have his medical ahead of signing a five-year contract on Merseyside, and Iraola is also in the market for another winger following the 23-year-old's arrival.
Gakpo is aware of that situation and understands his game time would be hampered, which is why he has attracted interest from Premier League rivals Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Spurs saw landing Gakpo as an opportunity to bolster their forward line during a prolific summer of spending. City, meanwhile, would welcome his arrival to fix their depth problems after Savinho and Omar Marmoush moved to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
According to [The Athletic's David Ornstein](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7484818/2026/08/29/cody-gakpo-tottenham-transfers-liverpool/), Liverpool's No. 18 was given three options: stay and fight for his place at Anfield, join Roberto De Zerbi's project in north London, or seal a transfer to the Etihad Stadium.
Ornstein has revealed that Gakpo has chosen the latter, with 'all parties now in talks to reach an agreement'.
