Tottenham Hotspur are set to miss out on key target Cody Gakpo, who wants to join Manchester City, according to journalist David Ornstein.

Spurs have been chasing the Netherlands international for much of the summer amid indications he was open to a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Despite landing Omar Marmoush and Savio from Manchester City, Roberto De Zerbi has still wanted Gakpo and viewed him as a key target.

The situation became more complicated for Tottenham recently though after Manchester City entered the race for the Dutchman.

With Liverpool having now agreed a deal to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, the door has been opened for Gakpo to go if he wants to.

And he has picked Manchester City over Tottenham as his destination, also deciding against remaining at Liverpool in the process.

Now attempts are under way to reach an agreement to give Gakpo his wish of an Etihad move.

For Tottenham, the news is a big blow and arrives with little time in the transfer window left to switch to an alternative.

Gakpo would have become the second player to swap Liverpool for Tottenham this summer after Andrew Robertson headed to north London.

Tottenham had been told by a Dutch journalist that they would be signing a model professional in the shape of Gakpo, but that will not now happen.

Spurs do have a limited amount of time to react and are likely to have other irons in the fire.

They also have to focus on offloading surplus to requirement players too however, with Pape Matar Sarr now the subject of interest from Juventus.

The Italians have gone in with an official request to Tottenham to sign Matar Sarr on a loan deal with an option to buy.

Whether that suits Spurs is unclear, especially as Sarr also has interest from a number of other clubs.

Tottenham face a busy end to the window, with defender Kevin Danso and striker Richarlison looking to leave.

Despite splashing a large amount of cash in the market, Tottenham will need to dip into their kitty further to make sure De Zerbi has the squad depth he needs.

Tottenham Hotspur got it wrong by allowing Will Lankshear to leave for Middlesbrough earlier this summer, in the view of journalist Alasdair Gold.

The 21-year-old made the switch to the Riverside last month, putting pen to paper on a five-year contract with Kim Hellberg’s Boro.

Spurs have also retained matching rights and a sell-on clause on any future sale, ensuring they have some say over the striker’s next move, but for now the cord has been cut with Lankshear.

Lankshear has spoken positively about the project at the Riverside, with the striker keen to play his part in Middlesbrough’s push for a Premier League return.

The former Tottenham man made his debut in Boro colours against Wrexham in the opening round of the EFL Cup, marking the occasion with a goal.

He followed that up with a brace against Lincoln City on his Championship debut, giving Middlesbrough fans another glimpse of what he can offer.

Lankshear struck again in the second round of the EFL Cup against Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday, coming off the bench to find the net and underline the immediate impact he has made since arriving at the Riverside.

There has been much debate about Tottenham deciding to sell Lankshear.

And Gold suggested Lankshear’s departure is the one part of Tottenham’s transfer window that does not sit right with him, while also pointing to the striker’s signing as a major coup for Middlesbrough.

Gold wrote on X: “The one part of Spurs’ transfer window that still feels wrong.

“Great signing for Middlesbrough.”

Former Championship attacker Sam Parkin highlighted Lankshear’s maturity last year, despite his young age, during the forward’s loan spell with Oxford United.

Should Lankshear continue making strides at the Riverside, whether Spurs look back towards him in the future will be open to debate, given the huge step up senior team football at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium represents.

To add further weight to their attacking ranks, Roberto De Zerbi’s side recently welcomed Savio from Manchester City, with Omar Marmoush set to follow soon.

Talk that Tottenham Hotspur signing Omar Marmoush could have seen a cash influx for Eintracht Frankfurt is ‘complete nonsense’ as the German side have no sell-on clause with Manchester City.

Eintracht Frankfurt signed Marmoush from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023 and he caught the attention of several Premier League outfits due to his prolific goalscoring ability during the 2024/25 season.

Manchester City managed to agree to a deal with Eintracht Frankfurt to bring the Egyptian to the Etihad, but one and a half seasons later he is closing in on an exit.

Tottenham are set to be the 27-year-old’s destination, with a move to north London now close to happening for Marmoush.

It was revealed on Friday that the London outfit are planning to complete the deal by the end of this week and it was suggested that the Egyptian is set to undergo a medical.

There has been speculation Manchester City might keep the price down to avoid paying Eintracht Frankfurt a sell-on clause, but the Tottenham deal will not result in a cash influx for the Germans no matter the price.

German journalist Florian Plettenberg wrote on X: “As revealed and now confirmed: Eintracht Frankfurt have NO sell-on clause for Omar Marmoush despite reports.

“The reason: Eintracht received their desired €75m guaranteed fee at the time, plus an additional €5m in bonuses. There were also very few instalments, meaning all payment obligations to Frankfurt have been fulfilled.

“Reports claiming that Man City are setting Marmoush’s price in a certain way to avoid a sell-on payment to Frankfurt are complete nonsense.”

The exact terms of the deal which will take Marmoush to north London are still unclear, but regardless of the make-up of the move, Eintracht Frankfurt will not be making any more money from the Egyptian.

Last season, Marmoush made only 21 appearances for Manchester City in the Premier League while netting three goals and laying on three assists.

Roberto De Zerbi looks to have seen enough of the attacker to believe he can fare better with Tottenham and start to recapture the form he showed when on the books at Eintracht Frankfurt.
