Liverpool fans are looking forward to what could be an incredibly busy end to the transfer window.
The Reds have been quiet so far this summer, with Arne Slot wanting to get to know his players before diving into the transfer market. However, Liverpool are now said to be targeting four new signings as they look to bring Slot’s strength back into their first-team squad. A new centre-back, defensive midfielder and potentially two wide forwards are said to be on the Anfield wishlist. While the identity of the defender and midfielder remains a mystery,
it is increasingly clear who the striker options are. Anthony Gordon could join Liverpool
Liverpool fans may be surprised to learn that their club wants two new strikers. The slots are relatively full on the forward line. However, it looks like this will be Mohamed Salah’s last season at Liverpool, while there are many rumours about the departure of Luis Diaz. The Reds may prevent both players from leaving by trying to arrange replacements first. So far, the main player Liverpool are targeting as a main target in attack is Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon.
Liverpool are in talks to sign Gordon in June, with a medical reportedly arranged before Newcastle pulled out. But with Gordon keen on a move to Anfield, ESPN journalist Mark Ogden claims a move could still happen this summer. “Anthony Gordon is a player Liverpool love and I think this deal could happen before the transfer window closes at the end of August,” Ogden said. “Newcastle will have the money to grow the squad in terms of signings. Like many clubs, they have no problem with PSR, but they need to move people around,” he added. “Liverpool are interested in Anthony Gordon. I was told that Anthony Gordon wants to go to Liverpool. We have a month left before the window closes and Liverpool need to sign some players.
Liverpool have increased their interest in Anthony Gordon
These are very exciting times for Liverpool fans. It looks like transfer activity will increase significantly for the Red Devils. As for Gordon, 12 months ago, he would not have been a player any Liverpool fan would hope for anywhere near Anfield. However, the 23-year-old has shaken off his Everton past and declared himself a Red as a child. After a fantastic season with Newcastle, this money won’t come cheap.
Liverpool are said to have agreed to pay £75m for Gordon with the Magpies ahead of their withdrawal. With Joe Gomez potentially going the other way for £45m, Newcastle may be keener to sell Gordon. Regardless, it still looks like it could happen.
