Liverpool have been linked with a move for 23-year-old Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon in recent weeks.
Anthony Gordon is reportedly a target for Liverpool this summer, but Newcastle United are insistent that he will not leave the club. A report from the Daily Telegraph has claimed that the 23-year-old has had his head turned by the interest from the Reds, and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Anthony Gordon joined Newcastle United in January 2023, and he has been a revelation for them. He managed to score 12 goals and pick up ten assists in all competitions last season. He has been a key player for the club over the past 12 months and letting him leave will not be an option for the Magpies.
The Englishman has a long-term contract with the club and he is likely to cost a lot of money as well. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool follow up on their interest with an official proposal to test Newcastle United’s resolve.
The Premier League outfit are under financial pressure right now, and they will need to comply with the PSR regulations. Newcastle could look to cash in on key players this summer, and Liverpool should look to try their luck and take advantage of their financial situation. The Magpies have already sold Elliot Anderson and Yankuba MInteh to balance their books
Liverpool move will be tempting for Anthony Gordon
It is no surprise that Gordon is tempted to move to Liverpool. He was a youth player for the Reds, and the opportunity to join one of the biggest clubs in the world will be quite attractive for any player. Liverpool have a proven track record of fighting for trophies, and Gordon will be able to compete at a higher level with them.
Although Newcastle United have an ambitious project, they are not quite at the level of the elite clubs, and they will need more time before they are ready to challenge clubs like Liverpool.
Liverpool need more quality and depth in the wide areas. Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah are the only natural wingers at the club and the arrival of Gordon will add more quality to the side. The Reds should look to invest in a quality winger this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they can get a deal done for the 23-year-old.
