Will Mikel Arteta be having a close look at Cody Gakpo tonight?

The PSV winger has been heavily linked with a move away from the Eredivisie in recent months, with Arsenal among the clubs said to be monitoring his progress. Arteta was keen to bring Leeds wideman Raphinha to the Emirates in the summer to bolster his creative options. Gakpo is a right-footed attacker comfortable playing off the left or as a striker. The 23-year-old has already scored nine goals and registered seven assists in just 10 league starts this season.
