Newcastle star blown away by Liverpool ace, insists he’s best in his position in England | OneFootball

Newcastle United attacking midfielder Anthony Gordon has expressed admiration for his Liverpool counterpart Mohamed Salah, insisting he is the best winger he has seen in the Premier League.

The Magpies star saw a dream move to the Merseyside club fall through in the summer, but a future deal has not been completely ruled out for Gordon.

The 23-year-old was discussing the best wingers to have played in the English top flight, and he did not hesitate to shower praise on the Liverpool star.

“I just think he is a machine,” the Newcastle star said about Salah.

“I just think to be at the top for so long the way he has, if you look at his statistics from his first season he joined Liverpool, he’s been so consistently elite.

“I play in the Prem every week – being a winger, I know how hard it is.

“I think he is starting to (get the credit he deserves). He is the best winger I’ve seen in the Premier League.”

Gordon knows what it takes to play as a winger in the English top flight, and it is unsurprising that he loves what Salah brings to the table.

The 32-year-old has bagged 16 goals and 13 assists in 23 games this term, taking his tally to 227 goals and 101 assists in 372 appearances for Liverpool.

Gordon was dreaming of playing alongside the Egypt international at Liverpool before the move failed, but Newcastle could still be forced to sell some of their big stars if they fail to secure Champions League football for next season.

However, whether the Reds will return for the Magpies man at the end of the season is unclear.

While he ended last term with 12 goals and 11 assists in 48 games to attract Liverpool and other suitors, Gordon only has three goals in 18 games this season.
