Liverpool Plot Move for Anthony Gordon as Summer Targets Expand
Liverpool are reportedly set to intensify their interest in Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon as part of an ambitious summer overhaul.
According to the Daily Mail, the Reds are preparing for another significant outlay, following their record-breaking £100 million swoop for Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, and have now identified the 24-year-old Gordon as a priority target.
A Longstanding Target
Liverpool attempted to sign Gordon last summer and still regard him highly. The forward, a boyhood Liverpool fan, is believed to be open to the move, making personal negotiations relatively straightforward. The biggest challenge will be prising him away from Newcastle, especially after the Magpies secured qualification for next season’s Champions League.
A Potential Luis Díaz Replacement?
Speculation is growing over the future of Luis Díaz, with Barcelona reportedly keen on signing the Colombian winger. Should Liverpool decide to cash in, a move for Gordon would be a natural fit, providing the Reds with an energetic, dynamic option down the left flank.
Although Díaz is said to be settled at Anfield, the looming interest from the Spanish giants could force Liverpool’s hand — making a deal for Gordon an attractive contingency.
A Premier League-Proven Star
Gordon has emerged as one of the Premier League’s standout attacking talents, offering a mix of pace, tenacity, and end product that would suit Liverpool’s attacking style. Adding him to the squad would give Arne Slot another potent option and deepen the club’s offensive depth.
However, with Newcastle determined to build a competitive squad for their Champions League campaign, prising their star man away will require a significant offer — and a compelling pitch from Liverpool.
Final Thoughts
With Florian Wirtz already secured, Liverpool appear poised for a blockbuster summer. The potential arrival of Anthony Gordon would further underline the club’s intent to evolve and remain at the pinnacle of English and European football. But making this deal a reality will be a test of Liverpool’s resolve — and their ability to tempt Newcastle into a sale.
