As a terrific season begins to draw to a close for Liverpool, eyes are starting to turn towards the summer transfer market.

The Reds are all set to win the Premier League in the next month, with two more wins all that is needed to get Arne Slot’s team over the line.

Having been robbed of the chance to party with fans in 2019/20, the celebrations both at Anfield and in the city during the days that follow will be something to behold.

This is a party 35 years in the making, as Liverpool supporters finally see their team crowned in front of a full stadium.

Gordon almost joined Liverpool last summer but was denied a dream move to his boyhood club when Newcastle pulled the plug late on.

There have since been suggestions that Liverpool could come back in for Gordon and it looks as though that could be taking an unexpected step closer to happening.

Although losing out on a move to Liverpool must have disappointed Gordon, he has since knuckled down and had another good season with Newcastle.

The 24-year-old also signed a new contract in October, which put to bed talk of a transfer to some degree.

However, with Luis Diaz’s future in question this summer, there is still a real chance that Liverpool will turn to a player of Gordon’s ilk to replace the Colombian.

Gordon is clearly a player Liverpool like for that, but given his previous status as an undisputed starter at Newcastle, it felt like a difficult deal to do.

But over recent weeks, Gordon has started to lose his place in Eddie Howe’s team.

Harvey Barnes has taken his chance in the starting XI brilliantly, smashing in four goals in three games, reducing Gordon to substitute appearances against Man United and Crystal Palace.

With Barnes scoring nine goals to Gordon’s six in much less game time, perhaps Newcastle will conclude that there is life beyond the former Everton man and be willing to listen to a Liverpool approach this summer.

When Liverpool were trying to sign Gordon last summer, he was still a key player for Newcastle.

Newcastle fans will not like it, and of course once he’s fully fit again and Barnes’ purple patch is over, Gordon will probably come back into the team.
