Newcastle United appears to be exploring an unexpected transfer target in PSV Eindhoven forward Cody Gakpo. With the arrival of new Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola, significant changes are expected at Anfield, leading to speculation regarding Gakpo's future.


Reports suggest that Gakpo, who had been a key player for the Netherlands during their recent World Cup campaign, could be interesting to Newcastle as the club continues to strengthen its squad. The talented winger showcased his skills on the international stage, demonstrating his capability as a consistent attacking threat.

However, Gakpo's situation at Liverpool has recently become complicated. Following the departure of coach Arne Slot, the player is reportedly feeling unsettled about his role within the squad. Slot had been a crucial figure for Gakpo, and his exit has left the Dutch international contemplating his future with the club.

As Newcastle seeks to build on their recent successes and elevate their standing in the Premier League, an approach for Gakpo could signal the Magpies' ambition in the transfer market. The club has previously shown willingness to invest in high-profile players, and Gakpo’s attributes align well with their attacking aspirations.

While discussions are still in the preliminary stages, the prospect of Gakpo joining Newcastle could ignite excitement among the fans. It remains to be seen how Liverpool will respond to interest from the Magpies and whether Gakpo himself will be open to a move away from Anfield, especially in light of the recent managerial changes. Newcastle's pursuit could add another twist to the summer transfer saga.
