Liverpool is gearing up for the post-Mohamed Salah era. The club has placed Anthony Gordon at the top of its summer wish list, convinced that the Newcastle United winger can become Anfield’s new attacking talisman.

The Englishman impresses with his speed, ability to exploit space, and effectiveness in one-on-one situations—qualities reminiscent of Salah. Liverpool has already taken the lead over Manchester City and Arsenal in the race to sign him.

Newcastle has set a £95 million price tag to release Gordon—an amount Liverpool is carefully considering to secure the transfer without upsetting their financial balance. If the deal goes through, Gordon could quickly become the Reds’ new offensive weapon and the face of the post-Salah transition.
