Despite the historical interest, David Ornstein has played down Liverpool making a move for Anthony Gordon this summer.

Bayern’s interest is not new and we know the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool have coveted him previously, too.”“There are plenty of suggestions around the industry that Bayern could be the direction of travel – but I imagine they would need to shift somebody because they wouldn’t want Gordon as a back-up and he won’t want to go somewhere as a back-up.”“I don’t know of him being at the top of Arsenal’s list and from what I hear a move to Liverpool is not on his or their agenda, even after the Ekitike injury. Newcastle seem open to a sale but at the right price and if the reported £80m is true, that will not be easily achieved.”For now, then, talk of Anthony Gordon finally making the move to Anfield will have to remain in the realms of fantasy rather than expectation.

Unless something drastic changes in the months ahead, Liverpool’s focus appears to be elsewhere in the market, even if supporters will keep one eye on how the saga develops on Tyneside. anthony gordon David Ornstein
