Fabrizio Romano now studies that the England worldwide ‘stays excessive’ on the Reds’ shortlist, with the recruitment group persevering with to debate the participant internally.
“Within the remaining days of June after they have been in bother with Monetary Truthful Play, Newcastle have been approached by Liverpool for Anthony Gordon. There was an change, the participant was eager on the transfer, so at the moment Anthony Gordon gave the inexperienced gentle for a possible transfer to Liverpool,” the Italian journalist spoke on his private YouTube channel.
“However Newcastle determined to not settle for the proposals. It was simply an change, only a dialog, not a proper bid. Liverpool wished to make a proposal however it was not what Newcastle anticipated for Anthony Gordon.
“What I wished to let you know tonight is that what I’m listening to is the curiosity from Liverpool in Anthony Gordon stays a robust curiosity, stays a concrete curiosity.

Is Anthony Gordon the fitting signing for Liverpool?
We’re greater than appreciative of what the left-sided winger can provide groups on the pitch.
Our foremost level concern, nevertheless, is the wealth of choices we at present have on this place. Who’re Liverpool promoting out of Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz? Almost certainly the latter, we’d suspect, offered our valuation for the Colombian was first met.
It doesn’t change the truth that we’re woefully wanting options for Mo Salah (32) on the other flank.
Given we nonetheless don’t have any readability over his long-term future at Anfield (if he even has one past his expiring contract), that leaves us in a sticky place.
It’s value taking into consideration, after all, that Liverpool’s method can be guided by opportunism. We’d be equally kicking ourselves not snapping up a participant of Gordon’s high quality if the possibility presents itself.
Maybe the curiosity, and potential eventual switch, signifies a change of precedence. May the left-flank change into the brand new dominant flank? May Gordon be our Salah on the left? That’s a seismic quantity of stress to placed on the Englishman’s shoulders.
And both manner, we are able to’t escape the plain have to bolster the fitting facet of our assault.
