Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing 23-year-old Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon this summer.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Liverpool are now prepared to step up their interest in Anthony Gordon, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with a concrete proposal for the player. The 23-year-old has been a revelation since joining Newcastle United, and he contributed towards 22 goals in all competitions last season.
The English international could prove to be a quality acquisition for Liverpool if they can get the deal done. Luis Diaz has been linked with a move away from the club, and Mohamed Salah will be a free agent next summer. Liverpool need to plan for the future and they need quality wingers.
Gordon was a youth player for Liverpool before he moved to Everton, and the opportunity to return to the club will be quite attractive for him. The Merseyside outfit are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be able to provide the attacker with the opportunity to push for major trophies. He will add goals and creativity to the Liverpool attack and improve them in the final third.
Anthony Gordon will be an expensive addition
Newcastle United paid £45 million for the former Everton attacker, and they are likely to demand the premium for him. They will look to make a profit on him, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are ready to pay substantial amount of money.
The winger has a long-term contract with Newcastle and therefore they are under no pressure to sell him for a knockdown price. It remains to be seen how the situation develops, with the Reds ready to step up their interest in him.
The English winger has reportedly had his head turned by the interest from the Premier League giants, and Newcastle should look cash in on him and bring in a quality replacement. Holding on to an unsettled player might not be a wise decision.
Gordon is still quite young, and the 23-year-old is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a key player for Liverpool in the coming seasons. If Liverpool can sign him for a reasonable price, the move could look like a major bargain in the long term.
