van Nistelrooy OFFICIALLY confirms to Arsenal there ‘is alot of interest’ in 13-goal star

Arsenal’s hopes of signing Cody Gakpo have been dented as PSV boss Ruud van Nistelrooy insists there is a lot of interest in him.

Gakpo has become one of the most talked about young attackers in Europe over the past 12 months after impressing for PSV – and he has started this season in fine fashion.

He has already scored 13 goals and added 11 assists for PSV and it is believed that Arsenal are readying a massive offer to try and get him signed up before more interest from big clubs come

However – van Nistelrooy has opened up and admitted that there is alot of interest in Gakpo – meaning that Arsenal may have to pay more than they would like if they get into a transfer battle

The former United striker said: “Of course, with the quality he is showing and the form he is having over the last three-four months is exceptional.

“His stats, his assists and goals that he is involved in, of course, draws the attention of the best clubs in European football.

“The good thing about him is that he is aged 23-years-old and is purely focused on his development and becoming a better player, doing well and captaining PSV the best he can.

“He is also focusing on a great World Cup as he is playing in the national team with [Louis]Van Gaal.

“For him he is in a fantastic moment and he wants to continue that and when the time comes he will make decisions when necessary.”

Gakpo is certainly a player that is ready to make that next step in his career and play in one of the big Leagues – so it will be interesting to see where he ends up when he does decide to leave PSV.

Arsenal have a good chance to sign the man – and will have a better chance if they get Champions League football this season
