Liverpool have shut the door on any potential sale of Cody Gakpo, despite growing interest from Tottenham, according to the Daily Mail.
The report claims Spurs have identified the Dutch forward as a target, but Liverpool are unwilling to strengthen a Premier League rival and have made their stance clear that Gakpo is not for sale.
Gakpo has established himself as a valuable squad player for the Reds since arriving from PSV Eindhoven, offering versatility across the front line. That utility appears central to Liverpool's refusal to entertain offers, even as Tottenham reportedly weigh up a move.
While no formal bid has been detailed, the Mail's report suggests any approach from north London would be knocked back swiftly, with Liverpool keen to keep their squad intact rather than assist a direct competitor in the Premier League table.
There's no indication from the report of Gakpo pushing for an exit himself, with the noise around his future said to be driven by Tottenham's interest rather than any dissatisfaction on the player's part at Anfield.
