According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool are still interested in signing Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon this summer. The two clubs held several talks about the transfer but nothing has been agreed yet.
Anthony Gordon is a star in making
A product of Everton, Anthony Gordon is one of the most talented wingers in the Premier League at present. He joined Newcastle United last summer and emerged as a quality signing. He started hitting the ground immediately and showed what he is capable of.
In his first season with the Magpies, Gordan scored 12 goals in 48 games. He also registered 11 assists to his name. He averaged 2.1 shots, 1.5 key passes, and 1.4 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The English international plays on the left wing but can don other advanced roles if required. He is an excellent carrier of the ball and puts a high work rate. With accurate passing and finishing skills, he is a talent to watch out for.
Will Liverpool get their hands on Anthony Gordon?
Liverpool have been linked to multiple attackers over the past few months as they look to strengthen their offensive unit. One of the most mentioned names was Anthony Gordon, who did impress the footballing fraternity last season.
However, cracking a deal with Newcastle United was never going to be easy. The Magpies will surely demand a premium fee to sanction the move of Gordon. But the player has the potential to justify the amount going forward.
The 23-year-old is an extremely talented kid who can provide value to the Reds’ unit. His addition will surely add depth and options for Arne Slot. He can serve at Anfield for many years to come should he continue to develop his game.
It will be interesting to see how much Liverpool are ready to offer to land the talent. They might also consider including a player in a swap deal to lower the asking price.
