According to Caught Offside, Liverpool are leading the way in the Anthony Gordon chase, with the report claiming they might have held informal talks previously. Arsenal are also part of the running, as Newcastle United will demand significantly for the attacker should they sell him in the summer.
Anthony Gordon could be a big attacking target for several of the top English sides ahead of the summer. The winger has made a reputation for himself as one of the formidable attacking talents in the Premier League, as the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City are all rumoured to be interested.
The Gunners reportedly had discussions about Gordon last summer before eventually deciding against bolstering their left-wing slot. They remain interested in Gordon, as Mikel Arteta will look again to strengthen that wide area, with the Newcastle United star certainly a big-name option for them to consider.
Liverpool also thought about signing Gordon amid Luis Diaz’s departure last summer to Bayern Munich, but they too like Arsenal, chose against strengthening that position. However, given how the season has panned out, and the performances of one Cody Gakpo have prompted the club to plan for a change ahead of the summer, where the Dutch star could potentially depart or play second fiddle.
Liverpool are still interested in Gordon, with Newcastle United currently in a position of power, unlike the situation with Alexander Isak last summer. The Magpies are looking at a fee of at least £85 million, but will ensure it reaches the £95 million mark, given Gordon is tied down to the club until 2030.
Liverpool are reportedly leading the race for Gordon as things stand, with the story also claiming the club may have held informal talks earlier. The £85-95 million-rated Newcastle wide man is also known to be a Liverpool fan, and so is his family, which could give the Merseysiders the edge in convincing him over a move.
At the moment, it appears Liverpool might have an upper hand in the race, although much will depend on how they can maneuver through their strained relations with Newcastle United. Should the Magpies not make it to the Champions League, they could lose stars like Gordon and Sandro Tonali, although any movements will depend on the ability of suitors to pay the full asking price.
