Anthony Gordon drops another big Liverpool hint after transfer talk

Liverpool were recently linked with a potential summer transfer for former Everton player Anthony Gordon. The winger, currently with Newcastle United, has been associated with a move to Liverpool and is reportedly a fan of the club, despite having represented Everton in recent years.

Gordon initially began his football journey with Liverpool but was released by the club at the age of 11, subsequently joining their city rivals, Everton. He departed Everton last January in a deal valued at £40 million to join Newcastle.

According to a recent report from The Daily Star, Liverpool is considering a move for the English international this summer, with suggestions that a bid close to £100 million would be necessary to seriously challenge Newcastle’s stance. Although Gordon has not explicitly confirmed his allegiance to Liverpool, the 23-year-old has indicated his desire to prove himself when facing his former club.

Liverpool needs to carefully assess the advantages of adding Anthony Gordon to their squad in light of their current team requirements. While Gordon brings youth and talent as a winger, Liverpool already possesses a strong attacking lineup. Therefore, any decision to pursue Gordon should be contingent upon whether he brings unique attributes, such as depth, versatility, or specific skills, that the team currently lacks.
Given Liverpool’s recent successes, their focus should be on signings that bolster the squad rather than just providing additional depth. Gordon’s ability to operate in various attacking midfield roles could offer valuable competition and cover for existing players. Furthermore, his reported allegiance to the club might provide an extra motivational boost.

Nevertheless, Liverpool must also consider the financial implications of the potential deal. The suggested price tag of £100 million, as reported by The Express, is substantial and could impact their ability to invest in other areas of the squad. Therefore, Liverpool needs to ensure that signing Gordon represents value for money and aligns with their long-term strategic objectives.
