“Wonderful player” to replace Luis Diaz? 16-G/A star “wants to join” Liverpool
Anthony Gordon has been linked with a move away from Newcastle United, and there have been rumours that he wants to join Liverpool.
According to former Premier League scout, Mick Brown, the 24-year-old England International is keen on a move to Liverpool as a potential replacement for Luis Diaz. The Colombian has been sold to German champions Bayern Munich, and Gordon could be a potential replacement.
“Liverpool are going to use that Diaz money to sign a replacement,” he told Football Insider.
“The one name we’ve spoken about a lot is Anthony Gordon, because he’s been a long-term target for them in that position and would be ideal.
“I think the plan would’ve been at the start of the window, if they sell Diaz, they can go for Gordon. He wants to join.”
He has done quite well in the Premier League with Everton and Newcastle. He registered 16 goal contributions last season, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for Liverpool. Gordon has been labelled as a “wonderful player”.
They need more depth and quality on the flanks. They were quite dependent on Diaz and Mohamed Salah in the wide areas. Signing another winger would be a wise decision. In addition to that, players like Federico Chiesa and Darwin Nunez are expected to leave the club. Liverpool could use more depth in that area of the pitch.
Gordon is a boyhood Liverpool fan, and he will certainly be tempted to join the Premier League champions. It could be the ideal opportunity for him to test himself at a higher level. Newcastle have won a domestic trophy last season and they have secured Champions League qualification. However, they are not quite at the level required to fight for major trophies. The opportunity to join Liverpool will be hard to turn down for the attacker.
It will be interesting to see if Newcastle are willing to sanction his departure. Liverpool are keeping tabs on Alexander Isak as well, and Newcastle have been adamant that they do not want to sell the key player.
