Gordon's own experiences have helped him empathise with Alexander Isak, who is angling for a move to Anfield this summer.
Newcastle have already turned down a whopping £110m bid and Liverpool are not expected to follow up with another offer.
"That is why I understand what Alex is going through," said Gordon.
