Liverpool Could Move In For This Newcastle United Winger: Should Slot Get Him On Board? | OneFootball

In a recent interview with Football Insider, former Premier League scout Mick Brown mentioned that Liverpool could move in for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. Brown said,

“Anthony Gordon is still on their radar.

“He’s been one of the top names for Liverpool for a while.

“He’s a Liverpool lad, was at Everton before, and they know him very well.

“They’ve been talking about Wirtz as well, and it looks like that deal is going to happen and they’re getting closer to an agreement there.

“But that isn’t going to stop them having a look at Gordon.

“They’ve got a few players there, Diaz, Gakpo, Nunez, and more who could leave and those sales would open to door for Gordon to come in.

“If they keep those players, they won’t need both Gordon and Wirtz.

“But if they don’t, Gordon is a player they’re considering to come in as a direct replacement for the current attacking options, who Slot hasn’t been convinced on.”

Gordon’s Decent Run Of Form In The Premier League Last Season

Gordon enjoyed another impressive campaign at Newcastle recently as he put in a series of eye-catching displays for them in the final third. The English talent registered nine goals and grabbed seven assists in 42 matches for the Magpies last season on all fronts.

Should Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Get Gordon On Board?

Gordon has got the pace to cause a lot of problems for his marker out in the wide areas. He is a good dribbler with the ball and has got the eye to play a few decisive passes on the offensive end of the field.

The England international can shoot the ball with venom from long range and can chip in by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the flanks. He is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also play as a right-winger or as a centre-forward if needed.

We can expect Gordon to bring more pace and goals to Liverpool head coach Arne Slot’s frontline. He is more than capable of competing for a regular first-team spot at the Merseyside club next season.

At 24, Gordon has got his peak years ahead of him which makes him a good option for the Reds to consider this summer. Thus, Slot should consider getting him on board ahead of the new campaign.
