There's Now "Every Chance" Liverpool Will Look to Sign "Explosive" Winger Who Mourinho Loves
Liverpool are increasingly likely to pursue Newcastle United's explosive winger Anthony Gordon this summer, amid growing speculation of a potential transfer that could reshape the Reds' attacking options[1]. The 24-year-old England international has emerged as a prime target, with bookmakers listing Liverpool as 5/1 favorites to secure his signature, ahead of Bayern Munich (6/1) and Chelsea (8/1)[1].
Gordon, signed by Newcastle for around £45 million from Everton in 2023, enjoyed a breakout season at St James' Park, netting 11 goals and providing 10 assists in 35 Premier League appearances[1]. This campaign, he has continued his fine form, scoring 10 goals across all competitions, including standout Champions League strikes against Barcelona, Benfica, and Bayer Leverkusen—placing him just behind elite scorers like Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane, and Erling Haaland[1]. Despite penning a new long-term deal in 2024, Newcastle's disappointing season and uncertain European qualification could force a squad overhaul, putting Gordon's future in doubt[1].
For Liverpool, Gordon represents a natural fit as they eye a bold rebuild for 2026-27. With Mohamed Salah's future uncertain amid rumors of a departure, and Cody Gakpo drawing frustration on the left flank, the versatile winger—praised for his pace and directness—could fill a key void[1][2]. Sources indicate Gordon favors a return to Merseyside, where he began his career at Everton, potentially accelerating a deal if Newcastle cash in[4].
Former Manchester United manager José Mourinho's admiration for Gordon adds intrigue, highlighting the player's elite potential[original headline]. However, Liverpool fans remain divided; a recent poll showed preference for academy star Curtis Jones over the Scouser-born talent[3]. As transfer windows heat up, there's now "every chance" Anfield bosses will act decisively to land this Premier League star[1].
