If he could be bagged for a reasonable fee then Liverpool might be all over him, but I don’t think it will be a deal they force through for 75 million and go through another Isak situation where they’re absolutely knocking down the door, because there is probably a limit on his value.ā€Nevertheless, if he is available for a relatively good price, Lynch says he could see Liverpool at least entertaining the idea of signing the former Everton man.Photo by Michael Regan – The FA/The FA via Getty ImagesREAD MORE: Should Liverpool have signed Rayan Cherki over Florian Wirtz?



Steve Nicol decidesā€œThe homegrown thing is part of it, he’s a local lad, a Liverpool fan,ā€ he said. ā€œI think in a better team he’s shown he can have the quality to score goals and impact things and he’s a good age as well.

I think he’s got the ability to be a Luis Diaz-type for Liverpool which they’ve definitely needed this season and he can also play right hand side, down the middle as well. Should Gordon’s valuation drop to around Ā£60-65m, though, maybe that will sway Liverpool to come back in for him.As Lynch points out, there is enough evidence to suggest that the winger could go up a level if he joined the Reds, and his pace, threat from wide and nasty edge are all things Liverpool have been badly missing this season.It appears that Gordon is not at the very top of Liverpool’s list this summer, but he should definitely be on it at the very least.
