PSV sensation Cody Gakpo admits he idolized Barcelona players as a kid

Cody Gakpo is lighting the Eredivisie on fire. The 23-year-old PSV winger has 13 goals and 11 assists and is easily one of Europe’s most productive forwards. Manchester United already called for him, and it’s understood the biggest clubs in Europe could be making moves soon.

United was actually quite close to signing him in the summer, for a handsome fee, of course. But the deal fell through when the Red Devils chose to sign Antony instead.

He is expected to represent the Netherlands in the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar and some are tipping him as a possible breakthrough star.
