Ryan Babel would love to see his former side Liverpool sign Cody Gakpo, but believes Premier League leaders Arsenal may be a suitable destination for him too.
The PSV star has been the shining light for the Netherlands in the Qatar World Cup and has enhanced his growing reputation with goals in both games so far in the tournament.
Once January arrives, there is likely going to be a huge scramble for his signature with the Reds said to amongst the teams fighting it out for the Dutchman.

It was reported in October by the Mirror that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side had been tracking Gakpo for over a year ahead of making a possible move for the Dutch star.
Babel told the Athletic : “You see him linked to clubs in England, such as Manchester United. Everyone has the right price so let’s see how he develops in the tournament. He has shown enough quality that he is ready for the next step, whether it’s in January or next summer.
“As a Liverpool fan, I would tell him to go to Liverpool if they make an approach! Arsenal would also be an incredible team for him, with the current manager and the project that they’re building. He has to follow his heart."
Reports from the Netherlands have suggested that Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders sees Gakpo as the 'missing link' in Jurgen Klopp's side. Manchester United made a late move for the attacker in the summer while Leeds United and Southampton also reportedly attempted to bring him to the Premier League.
