    🚨 Manchester City in formal talks with Liverpool over Cody Gakpo. Understand an opening bid has already been made. As reported last week, #MCFC making a push for the Liverpool attacker, who wants to leave. Liverpool considering their options given how late it is in the window. https://t.co/vcmUSQ2DIn

    🚨 Liverpool intend to keep Cody Gakpo after informing Manchester City this afternoon their bid of around £80m was rejected. Never a guarantee an exit would be sanctioned despite Gakpo being open to the move. Financials less of an issue than #LFC finding a replacement. Barring https://t.co/ISZE0ucP7T

    🚨 Spurs agree a deal in principle to sign Iliman Ndiaye from Everton. Richarlison is set to re-join Everton in a separate deal, as @David_Ornstein called. Spurs decided to move for Ndiaye after being informed Cody Gakpo wants to join Manchester City. Talks between #LFC and https://t.co/62wtRy085M
