Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon looks set to miss their Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.

It was proposed by chiefs in the North East that they could offload the 24-year-old to Liverpool in exchange for Jarell Quansah, before the prospect of Joe Gomez was mentioned - however, they sold Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson to steer clear top-flight sanctions.

After booking their place in the final with a comprehensive win over Arsenal across two legs, Gordon spoke of his excitement to play under the arch in a domestic cup final.



However, following Gordon's dismissal, a lot has been made of Gordon's affiliation with the Reds following his release aged 11 and his widely reported support.

During a recent televised episode of Sky panel show A League of Their Own, Gordon revealed that his family are all Liverpool supporters and how there was always an underlying feeling that they were supporting the Reds throughout his career at Everton and now St James' Park.

"I have no family members who support Everton.

My family are really, really bitter Liverpool fans."

Gordon hasn't shied away from his Liverpool admiration.

“Coming from Liverpool, he was like a God in Liverpool, and he was an unbelievable player."

And the England international has been complimentary of fellow attacker Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian has turned out another formidable season for the Reds as he leads the race for the golden boot and has set the pace in the assists chart too.

Gordon admitted in an interview with TNT Sports that he is 'probably the best player in the world'.

“I watch Salah a lot,” he said.

I think because I'm from the city, it's probably like I grew up watching it.
