Liverpool Have Set Their Sights On This Newcastle United Star: Good Choice For Slot? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Liverpool have set their sights on Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon. It has been claimed that the Reds have identified the English wide player as a replacement for Mohamed Salah this summer.

Gordon’s Impressive Numbers In English Football

Gordon has caught the eye at times for the Tyneside club in the final third as he has put in a series of productive performances for them in the Premier League. The English talent has scored 17 goals and grabbed five assists in 46 matches for Newcastle this season on all fronts.

The 25-year-old is currently one of the best wide players in the Premier League. Therefore, it is no surprise that Liverpool are eyeing a move to land him in this summer transfer window.

Gordon is under contract at St. James’ Park until the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for the Reds to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Will Gordon Be A Good Choice For Liverpool?

Gordon is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some dangerous runs with it out on the flanks. He generates a lot of power with his shot attempts from long range and can create some inviting chances for his teammates to find the back of the net. Gordon can contribute by scoring and creating a handful of important goals for his team.

The English wide player is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also function as a right-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if required. He is already quite familiar with the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Anfield.

We can expect Gordon to add more pace and goals to Liverpool head coach Arne Slot’s attack. He is good enough to nail down a regular first-team place at the Merseyside club in the coming seasons.

At 25, Gordon has got his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Reds to pursue this summer. He could prove himself to be a success story at Anfield over the next few years. Gordon might even help Liverpool get back to challenging for some major honours in the future. With all things considered, he could prove to be an ideal replacement for Mohamed Salah at the Premier League club.
