Liverpool will pursue Crysencio Summerville in the summer transfer window instead of launching the offensive to sign Anthony Gordon.
According to a report by 90min, Anthony Gordon is no longer the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are scouring the market for an offensive reinforcement heading into the summer transfer window. However, the Merseyside club will pursue Crysencio Summerville instead of the Newcastle United attacker.
The rise of Anthony Gordon and Crysencio Summerville
Anthony Gordon has become one of the best young players in the Premier League since joining Newcastle United from Everton in January 2023. The 23-year-old took some time to get going but has established himself as a pivotal figure for the Tyneside outfit in the 2023/24 season.
The Englishman has amassed 12 goals and 11 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions, with only Alexander Isak being most productive. Meanwhile, Gordon’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Liverpool.
As for Crysencio Summerville, he has burst into the limelight with an exceptional 2023/24 campaign. The 22-year-old has racked up 21 goals and 10 assists in 48 appearances across all competitions. The youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs, including Liverpool.
Liverpool interested
Both Crysencio Summerville and Anthony Gordon feature on Liverpool’s radar. Either player can be a long-term solution on the flanks, meaning the interest in the duo makes sense. However, Newcastle United recently played down rumours linking Gordon with Liverpool. The latest update has revealed that the Reds are not interested in the highly-rated Newcastle United star.
Summerville has thus become the top target for Liverpool to bolster the offensive department. Amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz, the Reds need an option in the market if either attacker leaves. So, the Leeds United attacker is a viable target heading into the summer transfer window.
Summerville might have other suitors pursuing him, although the opportunity to join Liverpool will be too appealing to turn down. Meanwhile, there have been suggestions that the Dutchman is happy at Leeds United, with a recent interview revealing he is happy and content at the West Yorkshire club.
