‘Sign him now!’ – Arsenal fans react to Cody Gakpo stunning goal for Netherlands vs Ecuador
Following his second World Cup goal, Cody Gakpo of PSV and the Netherlands has drawn the ire of Arsenal supporters, who want their club to sign him.
Gakpo has long been a target for the Gunners, but a summer transfer was challenging to complete because the player wanted to play regular football to increase his chances of playing in the World Cup in Qatar.
After scoring against Senegal and then opening the scoring against Ecuador this evening, the Dutch star has now scored twice in two games (Friday).
In order to give Bukayo Saka some competition, Arsenal is reportedly eager to sign a new winger in the January transfer window.
