Kaide Gordon set to join Portsmouth

Liverpool academy starlet Kaide Gordon is all set to complete a deadline-day loan move to Championship outfit Portsmouth.

According to a report from The Athletic, Kaide Gordon is expected to join Portsmouth before the end of the winter transfer window. Liverpool have been looking for an ideal destination for the young winger to continue his development, and they feel he could flourish at the Championship outfit.

Gordon was a part of the Derby County youth setup when Liverpool decided to fork out £3.4 million (including add-ons) to bring him to Anfield. The 20-year-old has gone from strength to strength since making the move to the Merseyside club at the start of 2021.

While he has not been promoted to their first team yet, Gordon already has seven first-team appearances. The Englishman became their second youngest goalscorer when he found the back of the net against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup at the start of 2022 at the age of just 17.

Kaide Gordon’s flop Norwich City move

The English youth international looked destined for greatness, but injuries have hampered his progress. He only made a total of three first-team appearances for the Reds during the 2023/24 season before joining Norwich City at the start of the ongoing campaign.

Unfortunately, the loan move to Norwich did not go according to plan as Kaide Gordon only started in one Championship game out of his ten appearances. The Merseyside club decided to recall him last month because of a lack of game time.

Portsmouth close in on Gordon’s signature

While Kaide Gordon was training with their Under-21s, the Reds were busy looking for a club where he could continue his development as a player. Portsmouth emerged as a potential destination, and they have been working on a potential transfer for some time.

The EFL Championship outfit will be battling out for survival, and they seek more quality to help their cause. They feel the 20-year-old winger could certainly help them stay in the second division. As a result, Pompey have been looking to sign him on a loan deal until the end of the season. They have reportedly struck a deal with the Reds as Gordon is all set to join them on loan until the end of the ongoing campaign.
