Liverpool have been linked with a move for Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon all summer.
The Magpies thought about cashing in on the England international when they were in trouble with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
However, after the sales of Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, their financial concerns were eased and they decided against selling their attacker.
Former Liverpool and Newcastle United forward Michael Owen has given the Reds some hope of signing the former Everton player.
Owen has claimed that the Merseyside club can still sign Gordon if Newcastle United become desperate to sell him due financial issues.
The former striker feels that if the Magpies run into financial issues again, it could work in the favour of the Reds and they can make the deal happen.
“There’s no doubt Anthony Gordon is a talented boy,” Premier League legend Owen told Casino Hawks, as reported by The Mirror.
“Obviously, there’s a little bit of history there, being an Everton player and now being up in Newcastle.
“I can’t imagine, unless Newcastle are suffering with the money side of things, then I can’t imagine they’ll want to get rid of one of their most exciting young players.
“He’s done really well at Newcastle since he’s been there, so I’m sure Eddie Howe is desperate to keep him. I’m not sure how credible that story can be, but that is the type of player, if somebody like that came available, then of course that’s the type of player Liverpool should be interested in.”
Anthony Gordon is keen to join Liverpool
Gordon’s head is reportedly turned by interest from Liverpool and the player is open to join Arne Slot’s team.
He was in brilliant form for Eddie Howe’s team last season when he scored 11 goals in the Premier League along with 10 assists.
The former Everton player has shown he can perform at the top level and not only score goals but also create them for his teammates.
The Reds would love to have a player like Gordon in their team but Newcastle would give it their all to keep hold of their prized asset.
I think Newcastle will keep him this season, and as Newcastle aren’t in Europe, they’ll finish top 4, and Gordon will decide to stay at Newcastle 2025/2026
I wish him well, don’t think LFC are really desperate to sign him though somehow,,,,
I’ve been laughing my socks off all summer at the desperate attempts the Liverpool media have made to keep this story alive.
It’s not happening ..jog on .
It only became a story when we needed to satisfy PSR..and how much of what has been reported is actually true ..who knows ?
We don’t NEED to sell anyone else..and any other outgoing sales will be because they don’t fit into the managers plans anymore with the money being re-invested into new signings who do ..
Anthony Gordon won’t be going anywhere ..
Michael Who???
Ive been laughing as well, we had that many options to sign him according to reports with Newcastle looking to do a part exchange deal on everything up to and including expensive cars and or various players that we have no intention of selling, that had we really wanted him and he was that keen to join us he would have signed,, but surprise surprise he hasn’t …
