Bayern Munich is considering signing Cody Gakpo from Liverpool as a high-profile left winger, with contact already made and a potential transfer fee of €50-60 million, to fill a gap in their forward line and possibly strengthen Dutch-French connections.
Liverpool won their second successive away game against West Ham United, with goals from Cody Gakpo and Joël Matip. The victory moves them temporarily within six points of Manchester United in fourth spot. Gakpo and Trent Alexander-Arnold were the standout performers for Liverpool, benefiting from the new system being in place. Liverpool has two major new creative outlets to rely on in Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones, who is excelling in his more advanced position in midfield. Darwin Núñez struggled to get into the game off the bench, and it feels unlikely that he will start at the weekend as a result. West Ham boss David Moyes led the protests, but the referee got the decisions right.
