EPL: He’s very dangerous, strong – Van Persie hails Arsenal, Man Utd target

Former Netherlands international, Robin van Persie, has hailed Arsenal and Manchester United target, Cody Gakpo.

Van Persie said that Gakpo, who currently plays for PSV Eindhoven, is a very dangerous player, strong and fast.

Gakpo has been linked with a move to Man United and Arsenal in the past.

Gakpo was impressive for PSV as they defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the Europa League group stage tie on Thursday.

“He is a good player and always finds a way in most games to have an influence, in terms of getting an assist or scoring a goal,” Van Persie BT Sport (via HITC).

“(Gakpo) is always dangerous (but) not really an out-and-out striker. He can play as a No.10, on the (left) wing, as a false striker or on the right wing.

He added: “He has a good physique. He’s strong, fast and can dribble. An all-round player.”
