A few days ago, according to the British "Moore Sports", the Italian AC Milan team has now joined the competition for Cody Gakpo, striker of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. This is a difficult competitor to chase the Netherlands Manchester United. The Togolese killer is now worth 35 million euros. If Manchester United wants to defeat Milan in the competition, he needs to at least get the Champions League qualification at the end of the season.
Gakbo was born on May 7, 1999. He is an excellent seedling cultivated by the Eindhoven youth training camp. In 2018, he was transferred from the U19 echelon to the first team of Eindhoven due to his outstanding performance. In Eindhoven, he started out as a substitute, but gradually became a rotation and then became the main force.
Last season, as the main center, the Togolese striker scored 12 goals and had 13 assists in 27 games, leading Eindhoven in the Dutch field, causing great trouble to Tenhager coached by Ajax . Although Ajax finally won the league championship, Gakbo's outstanding performance also impressed Tenhager. This season, 23-year-old Garkepo has experienced an explosion. So far, he has scored 13 goals and assisted 11 times, playing in 18 games so far, and has played very amazingly.
Jiakebo is 1.87 meters tall, and his main position is the left winger, who can also play forward. He has extremely strong last pass ability, and averages 3.8 key passes per game in the Dutch Eredivisie. His crosses are also excellent, averaging up to 3.2 times. When he killed in the penalty area, his shots were also extremely terrible. Coupled with his speed like lightning, he is now unsolvable in the Dutch League. If you want to compare, it is somewhat similar to the characteristics of Cruivet back then. This season, he averaged 8.6 points in the Dutch League, making him the only one.
Manchester United coach Ten Hager really hopes to strengthen his forward line again. After all, the team only scored 13 goals after 9 rounds of Premier League . Among the top eight teams, they scored the least goals, so he recommended Garkebo to the team, but now AC Milan has joined the competition. The left winger of Milan's forward line is Leo, but he has never made any substantial progress with the team on the issue of renewal. Once the contract cannot be renewed, it is likely that it will be sold as soon as possible in the winter window, and Milan also took a fancy to Garkebo to replace Leo. Once Leo is sold, Milan is likely to receive hundreds of millions of euros, which will not lead to a disadvantage in the competition with Manchester United.
Manchester United is of course rich and powerful. Look at the bidding champion this summer Anthony , you will know how willing they are to sign. However, to compete with Milan for the Dutch international, in addition to economics, it also needs to be guaranteed in competitive terms. After all, it is not difficult for Milan to qualify for the Champions League, but if Manchester United cannot qualify for the Champions League again, they will not have much advantage when competing with Gakbo.
