Manchester City have opened talks with Liverpool to sign Cody Gakpo.

Liverpool will be considering their situation given contact has come late in the window.

One source has told us a potential move for the winger is advancing in City's direction amid the interest of Tottenham.

Discussions are also under way over personal terms for the Netherlands international.

Liverpool are on the verge of signing Bradley Barcola from PSG for £106m rising to £123m.

Manchester City allowed Savio and Omar Marmoush to join Tottenham earlier month, reducing Enzo Maresca's options on the wing.

City did not name a single winger on their bench in Friday's win over Crystal Palace and started with Phil Foden - who Enzo Maresca admitted is not a winger - out wide at Selhurst Park.

Jack Grealish is of interest to Everton and Sunderland - he is believed to prefer a return to the Toffees - and was absent against Palace, further reducing their options in that area.

Liverpool are set to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain before Tuesday's deadline, while Victor Munoz arrived from Osasuna earlier this summer.

Spurs also targeted Gakpo in this window before signing Savio and Marmoush.
