Liverpool have long been mooted to make a move for Anthony Gordon, though a transfer happening did seem a bit more unlikely in recent weeks.One update claimed that the Reds expect Gordon may prefer to move abroad this summer if he is to leave Newcastle United.This came despite the Magpies winger being mooted to replace Mohamed Salah once he leaves. However, a new update has now suggested that a ‘huge move’ could be made by Liverpool to land the Englishman.

“With doubts surrounding Anfield’s attacking future, Gordon appears as an ideal option to bolster Arne Slot’s attack this summer.” You can only pick ONE player for Liverpool to sign this summer, who is it? Who should Richard Hughes be targeting above all… Photo Credit: Getty Images/Robin Jones Anthony Gordon is exactly what Liverpool needGordon has 17 goals and five assists in all competitions for Newcastle this season, though a good chunk of those goal contributions (12) did come in the Champions League.However, unlike other Liverpool targets such as Yan Diomande, he is already very well proven in the Premier League and has much more experience.Gordon possesses great pace as well, and was the fastest player in the Champions League earlier in the campaign.Liverpool, for their part, have been devoid of pacey wide options since Luis Diaz was sold to Bayern, and the impact on their frontline has been clear.Signing Gordon would give Slot a much quicker option on both wings, and could mean he finally stops playing Cody Gakpo as much.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
