Liverpool, who failed to sink some decisive goals last season, are looking at new attackers, coupled with a search for a successor to Egyptian international Mohamed Salah. The top priority is a right winger, but names of players have emerged, including but not limited to centre forwards and left wingers.
England international Antony Gordon, who scored a total of 12 goals and grabbed 11 assists in 48 appearances for Newcastle United in the previous season, has also been mentioned as one of the targets, but talk of a move for him has been ongoing.
According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle are said to be under pressure to sell the player by 1 July due to concerns about breaching the Premier League’s “profitability and sustainability rules” (PSR), and Liverpool are former local rivals, They had a chance to land the 23-year-old winger, who had previously spent time at Everton.
However, the north of England club were apparently demanding 21-year-old defender Jarell Quansah, who had a big breakthrough last season, in negotiations, and Liverpool had no intention of letting go of the young prospect and rejected the chance.
Left wingers are low on the priority list, with Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo leading the way, as there are many left wingers in the team. Also, as he is a fast winger who has developed a reputation with his Merseyside rivals, it is hard to believe that he would be more serious about it due to the relationship between the two clubs.
Personally, I would ideally prefer the more decisive Swedish international Alexander Isak if we could get him, but what would happen…
