Gakpo has now revealed he is open to a move so long as it does not jeopardise his place in the Holland squad for the Qatar World Cup this winter, having made his debut for his country at Euro 2020.
‘Anything can happen this summer,’ he told Dutch outlet De Telegraaf.
‘I will now calmly compare all the options and see what is best for me. Staying another year is also an option.
‘It would be a shame if I went somewhere where I wouldn’t get a job at all and I could miss the World Cup. I’ll keep that in mind.’
