Arsenal and Liverpool ready for transfer battle to sign 21-year old winger

Mika Godts Transfer News: Paris Saint-Germain have moved into a strong position to sign Ajax winger Mika Godts, though the transfer race has suddenly become more open. According to TEAMtalk, via Goal, intermediaries have contacted Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur to alert them that there is still an opportunity to disrupt PSG’s pursuit of the Belgian attacker.

Luis Campos has identified Godts as a priority after PSG failed to secure RB Leipzig prospect Yan Diomande. While the 21-year-old reportedly likes the idea of joining Luis Enrique’s project in Paris, interest from England refuses to disappear. Arsenal continue searching for another wide forward, Liverpool remain in the market for extra attacking quality, and both Manchester United and Tottenham have been informed that the deal is still alive if they decide to act.

Ajax are hardly under pressure to cash in. The Eredivisie champions value Godts at around €60 million, or £51 million, and his contract runs until June 2029. Speaking to De Telegraaf, technical director Jordi Cruyff insisted the winger is not for sale and stated that Ajax want him to stay for at least another season. Despite that public stance, TEAMtalk reports that PSG remain confident because negotiations between the clubs have progressed in a positive manner.

Mika Godts Transfer News: Liverpool stand out as the strongest option

Godts earned his growing reputation with an outstanding 2025/26 campaign. He finished the Eredivisie season with 17 goals and 13 assists in 34 league appearances, while his overall tally reached 32 goal contributions from 44 matches across all competitions. Those numbers earned him the Eredivisie Talent of the Year award and pushed him onto the shortlist of several European heavyweights.

Liverpool make the strongest football argument. Andoni Iraola wants aggressive runners who attack space quickly, press with intensity and drive directly at defenders. Godts already plays that way. His habit of cutting inside from the left onto his stronger right foot would give Liverpool another consistent goal threat without demanding major tactical adjustments.

Mika Godts Transfer News: Arsenal, United and Spurs face different questions

Arsenal already possess Gabriel Martinelli and might get Vinicius Jr. in similar roles, making regular minutes less certain. Manchester United still lack a settled attacking structure, which could slow the development of a young player arriving from the Netherlands. Tottenham ask their wide players to stay wider for longer, creating crossing and cut-back situations instead of encouraging constant central runs.

Scorzo’s opinion: Liverpool should seriously examine this opportunity before PSG complete the deal. Paying £51 million for a player after one outstanding season always carries an element of risk, yet Godts offers far more than raw potential. His 17 league goals, 13 assists and fearless style suggest he is ready for a bigger stage. Arsenal have greater competition for places, United still need stability, and Tottenham’s tactical demands don’t fully suit his strengths. Liverpool simply looks like the club where his football makes the most sense.
