Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Cody Gakpo for a fee between £35m and £45m from PSV, the Dutch club have announced.
A PSV statement on Monday said: “PSV and LFC have reached an agreement on the proposed transfer of Cody Gakpo.
“The 23-year-old attacker will leave for England imminently, where he will be subjected to the necessary formalities ahead of the completion of the transfer.”
The move signals a huge blow for Manchester United who are reportedly the favourite for the attacker to join.
Gakpo’s stake increased at the World Cup with three goals in five appearances before the Netherlands were knocked out at the quarter-final stage on penalties by Argentina.
The deal, with its clauses has six year life span.
