Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon has been linked with a move away from the Tyneside club, with Liverpool interested.
Liverpool were keen on signing Anthony Gordon in the summer transfer window but failed to get a deal done eventually. According to a report by Give Me Sport, Newcastle United will remain calm about his future despite the exit links.
The Magpies spent £45 million on the English winger when they signed him from Everton, and he has been a key player for them in the last 18 months. Gordon has established himself as one of the best young wingers in the Premier League, and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for Liverpool if they can get the deal done.
Liverpool need to bring in a quality wide player, especially if Mohamed Salah moves on in the summer. His contract is up in 2025, and the Egyptian has not signed an extension with Liverpool yet. Meanwhile, Gordon is a boyhood Liverpool fan, and the opportunity to join them could be quite attractive for the player.
It would be a major step up in his career, and he would get to compete for major trophies with them. Newcastle United are calm about his future, and it remains to be seen whether they can tie him down to a new long-term deal. They will not want to lose a key attacker like Gordon anytime soon.
Newcastle United cannot afford to lose Gordon
Newcastle United are looking to put together a formidable squad capable of winning major trophies, and they must hold on to their best players. They have been overly dependent on Gordon and Alexander Isak for goals and creativity. Losing either of the two players will be a devastating blow for them.
If Newcastle United want to win major trophies and compete with the biggest clubs in the world, they will have to hold onto their best players and convince them that this is the right place for them to achieve their ambitions.
Any player would be attracted to the idea of playing for Liverpool, and Gordon will certainly want to challenge at a higher level with them. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool come back with an offer for him in the near future.
