Liverpool preparing move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon

Newcastle star Anthony Gordon has emerged as a confirmed target for Liverpool. The 23-year-old winger, who began his football journey with Everton at the age of 11 after being released by Liverpool, has now caught the attention of his boyhood club following an impressive season with Newcastle United.

Gordon, who joined Newcastle from Everton, had a breakthrough campaign last season and has become a key player under Eddie Howe. Over the past two seasons, Gordon has showcased his talent, scoring 14 goals and providing 11 assists in 66 appearances. His performances did not go unnoticed, earning him a well-deserved spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024, where he has already played in four matches.

Before the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) deadline, which required Newcastle to offload some players to balance their books, Liverpool had nearly secured a deal for Gordon. The proposed transfer would have seen the winger move to Anfield for £75 million, with Joe Gomez heading to Newcastle for £45 million. Medicals for both players were even scheduled. However, Newcastle managed to raise the necessary funds by selling Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh, ultimately shelving the deal with Liverpool.

Despite the deal falling through, Liverpool’s interest in Gordon remains strong. As previously reported, Gordon grew up as a Liverpool supporter, and joining the Reds would fulfill a childhood dream. This personal connection adds an emotional layer to the potential transfer, making it a move that could resonate with both the player and the fans.

Eddie Howe, Newcastle’s manager, has emphasized Gordon’s importance to his squad, labeling him as one of the team’s most critical players. However, Howe also acknowledged that in the unpredictable world of football, he cannot completely rule out the possibility of a move to Liverpool.

Gordon’s future remains uncertain. For Gordon, a move to Liverpool would not only represent a significant step in his career but also the realization of a lifelong ambition.

The coming months will be crucial in determining whether Gordon stays at Newcastle or fulfills his dream of playing for Liverpool. Either way, his journey from Everton youth prospect to potential Liverpool star is a testament to his talent and determination.
