Newcastle United have identified potential replacements for Liverpool target Anthony Gordon
As Liverpool’s interest in Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon intensifies, the Magpies are preparing for the potential departure of their star forward.
According to i News, Newcastle have identified three potential replacements should Gordon make the switch to Anfield. The shortlisted candidates include West Ham duo Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen, as well as Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze.
The possibility of Gordon leaving St. James’ Park has led Newcastle to consider their options carefully. Kudus and Bowen from West Ham United are seen as viable replacements. Kudus, known for his versatility and attacking prowess, could bring a dynamic edge to Newcastle’s frontline. Meanwhile, Bowen’s proven Premier League experience and goal-scoring ability make him an attractive option.
Eze from Crystal Palace is also on Newcastle’s radar. Eze has consistently impressed with his creativity and skill on the ball, qualities that would help fill the void left by Gordon. The Magpies are clearly ensuring they have strong alternatives lined up to maintain their attacking strength.
Despite a £75 million deal for Gordon falling through in June, Liverpool remain interested in acquiring the 22-year-old. The Reds see Gordon as a promising addition to their squad, given his performances for Newcastle and his potential to develop further under Jurgen Klopp’s guidance. The ongoing transfer saga has kept Liverpool on high alert, ready to pounce if an opportunity arises before the transfer window closes.
Curiously, Kudus, Bowen and Eze have all been linked with Liverpool in the past. Whether the Reds are better off pursuing Gordon or one of the other three players is debatable.

The onus is now on us to make them an offer they cannot refuse.
