Anthony Gordon sends ‘amazing’ message to Newcastle amid Liverpool transfer links

Anthony Gordon has been the subject of speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool in recent days.

The former Everton star enjoyed an outstanding season in his first full campaign with Newcastle United. Gordon scored 10 goals and added 10 assists in 34 Premier League games, which saw him win the club’s player of the year award.

His form has caught the attention of Liverpool. According to the Daily Star, the Reds are interested in signing the 23-year-old this summer as an addition to their attacking options.

If Liverpool want to sign Gordon, it certainly won’t come cheap. He moved to St James’ Park just last year in a $57m (£45m/€52m) deal from Everton and would need a bid of almost £126m dollars (£100m/€116m) for Newcastle to consider the loan. he goes.

Amid the speculation, Gordon took to social media to express his delight at playing for his current club.

“What a place to play football,” he wrote on Instagram after Newcastle’s final home game of the season against Brighton. “Thank you for all your support, for some amazing memories at SJP this year.”

Despite starting his professional journey at Everton, Gordon has links to Liverpool. The striker was with the Reds’ academy before coming through Stanley Park at the age of 11.

Not only that, but he admitted to idolizing Steven Gerrard as a child, also taking inspiration from Mohamed Salah.

“Steven Gerrard was my football hero growing up,” Gordon told The Overlap last month. “Coming from Liverpool, he was like a God in Liverpool and he was an unbelievable player.”

Liverpool.com says: It would be a serious surprise to see Gordon make the move to Anfield, and not just because of his Everton links. Given the fee it would take for Liverpool to sign him, it’s hard to imagine him joining the Reds this summer.

There are simply other areas that will be a priority in Liverpool’s squad during the transfer window, and spending $126m or more on a striker could hinder efforts to strengthen the defense or sign a new number six .

However, there is clearly some admiration for Liverpool from Gordon and it seems his links with Everton would not necessarily put him off a move to Anfield. Might be one to keep an eye on in the future.
