Romano said on his YouTube channel on Monday evening: “There is an appreciation from Tottenham for Cody Gakpo.
“That’s true. He is one of the players they appreciate.
“I told you in a video I think here a few weeks ago that the situation on Gakpo was moving because there are clubs interested.
“But this story about Cody Gakpo completely depends on what Liverpool want to do.
“Liverpool are yet to decide anything.

“At the moment, (Liverpool) are not opening doors to his exit.
“Also, very happy with his performances at the World Cup, so Liverpool, the club, together with a new coach, Andoni Iraola, they will be deciding together about Gakpo and will make a plan to decide about Cody Gakpo.
“At the moment, the doors are not open, so Liverpool are not negotiating for an exit of Gakpo.
“There is interest from Tottenham, but waiting to understand what Liverpool will decide to do for the Dutch winger.”
On June 20, Jjournalist Pete O’Rourke said on the Transfer Insider podcast: “Gakpo had a disappointing season last year.
“A lot will depend on what Liverpool do in the transfer market as well.
“They’ve done a deal for Victor Munoz, so that will increase competition for places in Gakpo’s preferred left-side position.
“I don’t think Liverpool are actively looking to sell Gakpo, but if a big offer did come in for him, it’s something they might consider.
“They could use it to bolster their squad elsewhere.
“Tottenham are interested and I believe Roberto De Zerbi is a big fan of the Dutchman, but they do have other options as well for that left-sided winger position.”
