According to reports, Liverpool is considering making a stunning move for Anthony Gordon.
In his first full season with Newcastle United, Gordon has excelled, leading The Magpies with 11 goals and dishing out 11 assists.
.
This season, Anthony Gordon has been among Newcastle’s best players.
Liverpool is apparently taking notice of his good form.
Due to the 23-year-old’s excellent play this season, Gareth Southgate has awarded him his first two England caps.
And Liverpool, the dominant team in the Premier League, has apparently taken notice of his performances.
The Daily Star claims that the Reds intend to sign the Liverpudlian as one of their first acquisitions in the post-Jurgen Klopp era.
They claim the Merseysiders will look to test Newcastle’s resolve to keep the England international.
It’s said it would take an offer of at least £100m for the Magpies to entertain the prоspect of selling Gordon.
But the possibility of balancing their books so as not to be in viоlatiоn of Financial Fair Play rules could potentially see Toon chiefs come to the negotiating table.
Newcastle signed Gordon from Everton last January for a fee in the region of £45m.
Gordon came up the ranks at Goodison Park but is said to be a lifelong Liverpool fan, a fact the Kop club reportedly believe can use to their advantage in their pursuit of his services.
According to reports, Liverpool is eager to see if Newcastle would stick with Anthony Gordon.
Gordon apologized to Howe for his vehement reaction after being substituted during Newcastle’s 2-1 victory over Brentford last Saturday.
Howe stated: “I could kind of see why he behaved the way he did.
“I didn’t support it; players shouldn’t respond that way because, ultimately, it would make your team appear to lack the necessary discipline.
Given the amount of time remaining and Anthony’s fall while clutching his ankle, I decided to try and win the game by doing what I thought was necessary.
He had to come to me in private if he had a problem and accept that. In my opinion, he ought to have responded that way in that circumstance.
“Yes, he acknowledged that he was too sentimental.
However, it’s a young player who is simultaneously learning about us and the game. There is nothing wrong with him.
On Wednesday, Newcastle will return to action when they play Manchester United at Old Trafford.
