Anthony Gordon has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United this summer, with Liverpool interested in him.
Anthony Gordon is a target for Liverpool, but a report from Graeme Bailey on HITC has claimed that Newcastle United are now hoping to hand him a new contract amid transfer interest from other clubs.
It will be interesting to see if the player is willing to sign a new deal with the club in the coming weeks. That might be a tall order, considering some recent reports have claimed that the Englishman’s head has turned due to Liverpool’s interest.
The Magpies rate Gordon highly, and he has been a quality player for them since the £40 million move from Everton. The youngster scored 12 goals in all competitions last season, and he would be a quality acquisition for most teams in the top flight.
Newcastle will be hoping to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons and compete in the UEFA Champions League. They need to hold on to their best players to compete at the highest level. Gordon has been an indispensable asset for them, and they cannot afford to sell him anytime soon.
Newcastle United must hold on to their best players
Newcastle United have a talented squad and an exciting project. They have the resources to sign the best players in the world as well. It remains to be seen whether the England international is ready to commit his long-term future to the club. The opportunity to move to clubs like Liverpool can be quite attractive for any player, and Gordon will certainly be distracted with the interest from the Premier League giants.
Newcastle United will certainly be hoping to keep him at the club for as long as possible. The attacker is still only 23, and he is likely to improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top class player for them in the coming seasons.
The opportunity to return to his boyhood club can be hard to turn down for the 23-year-old attacker. Liverpool need a quality winger like him can operate on either flanks and add goals and assists to the side. Mohamed Salah could leave the club soon, and Luis Diaz has been linked with an exit as well.
