Anthony Gordon may have revealed too much about his move from Newcastle to Liverpool already.
The upcoming summer at Liverpool promises to be captivating. With Jurgen Klopp’s departure imminent, Arne Slot is poised to take over as manager. Slot will find a solid off-the-field team led by Michael Edwards, facilitating his transition, especially in the transfer market. Despite finishing third in the Premier League and clinching the Carabao Cup, Liverpool’s ambition for multiple trophies was curtailed, signaling ongoing squad reconstruction efforts initiated by Klopp and Jorg Schmadtke last summer. Notably, Liverpool is eyeing former Everton winger Anthony Gordon, who impressed at Newcastle United. Gordon’s turbulent departure from Everton in 2023 contrasts with his current success, drawing Liverpool’s interest. However, acquiring Gordon could require a substantial offer, possibly nearing £100m, testing Newcastle’s resolve. Despite his Everton roots, Gordon’s admiration for a Liverpool legend and his strained relationship with Everton fans could sway his decision.
