Anthony Gordon, the England international from Newcastle United, was close to a move to Liverpool last summer. A player sale was imperative to avoid breaches of the Profit and Sustainability Regulations, and this may continue this summer.
Meanwhile, Merseyside clubs are being bombarded with rumours of exits in the forward ranks. Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz and Federico Chiesa have all been linked with moves, while Mohamed Salah is on the brink of renewing his contract.
Former German midfielder Dietmar Hamann, who once played for Liverpool and Manchester City, suggested that his old club should still be looking at the England winger and that the team he has supported since childhood could be the deciding factor in a move.
“There have been reports that Anthony Gordon was a Liverpool fan growing up and, although Mohamed Salah cannot be replaced, you need to look at players who can influence games,”
“At the moment, I would look at Gordon and Jarrod Bowen as two brilliant wingers in the Premier League. Gordon had a tough start at Newcastle but has now won the fans over. Newcastle are probably reluctant to let him go because he’s their most important player with Alexander Isak.”
“I love watching him and he’s certainly another player Liverpool are looking at. If he did grow up supporting Liverpool, people in England are very very connected to their first clubs and I know that from having players at Liverpool who were Everton fans growing up. When it comes to transfers, it could be a deciding factor.”
