Liverpool considering shock £100m move for Newcastle star Anthony Gordon as Reds set to continue transfer splurge

Liverpool are weighing up a big-money bid for boyhood fan Gordon, with the club looking to continue strengthening under Slot. Talks over a move were held last summer, and the Reds are now revisiting the idea as they look to reinforce their attack after they finalise a deal for Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz.

Gordon impressed at Newcastle last season with six goals and five assists, and has been a long-term target. The Sun has now reported that Liverpool are considering putting in a bid worth £100 million ($135.6m), despite the 24-year-old having signed a new deal with the Magpies this season. Gordon is also close friends with Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones.

Liverpool have already signed right-back Jeremie Frimpong and are closing in on Wirtz in a record-breaking deal. With Luis Diaz’s future uncertain and Darwin Nunez attracting interest from abroad, Liverpool could accelerate their pursuit of Gordon in the coming weeks.

Liverpool have already won their first Premier League under Slot; however, they had a disappointing season in other competitions. As such, the Reds are willing to splash the cash this summer to ensure that they can challenge for more honours.
