Liverpool are ready to make a move for Anthony Gordon if Luis Diaz leaves in the summer transfer window, with a report claiming why Arne Slot would love to work with the Newcastle United winger at Anfield as the Reds take a shine to another Colombian forward.
Gordon is one of the best young wingers in the Premier League and has been a star for Newcastle since his £40million transfer from Everton in January 2023. The 23-year-old England international has scored 22 goals and given 17 assists in 95 matches in all competitions for the Magpies
Liverpool wanted to sign Gordon from Premier League rivals Newcastle in the summer of 2024. The Magpies were always confident that the winger would stay at the club and valued him at £100million.
It seems that Liverpool’s interest in Gordon had never gone away, with a report in Spain claiming that Reds head coach Arne Slot would love for the Merseyside club to sign the winger if Diaz leaves in the summer transfer window.
Barcelona are showing a keen interest in signing the Colombia international winger, and, according to Fichajes, Liverpool have identified Gordon as his replacement
Gordon has reportedly emerged “as an attractive option due to his youth, speed and ability to balance in one-on-one situations”.
The 23-year-old’s “ability to play on both wings and his aggressiveness in attack make him an ideal choice for Liverpool’s style of play”, according to Fichajes.
The report has noted that if Diaz does leave Anfield at the end of the season, then Liverpool “could take the definitive step to t
try to sign” Gordon from Newcastle.
