Everton and Southampton join United and Arsenal in the race for Gakpo

Cody Gakpo continues to attract interest from a number of teams in the top five leagues. Last summer, Manchester United looked set to sign him for the Premier League and Europa League.

Arsenal followed in the footsteps of the Red Devils, but put him on the agenda for future markets. Two English teams have joined the bidding for the Dutch player. They are Everton and Southampton, according to 'Football Transfers'. 

The striker's two new suitors have the intention of spending a lot of money to sign a player who they consider to be something special. Lampard's side lost Richarlison last season and need a guaranteed replacement. 

Gakpo has been on fire at the start of the season. The striker has scored eleven goals and provided eight assists in 12 official games this season. The problem with this rise in the level of Van Nistelrooy's player is that his price will settle at over 50 million euros.
