Liverpool’s summer rebuild shows no signs of slowing down, with fresh reports suggesting the club is weighing up a major move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
According to The Sun, the Reds are prepared to revisit their interest in the 24-year-old, with a £100 million offer reportedly on the table — a bold move that would further reshape their front line.
Frimpong, Wirtz in – but Liverpool want more firepower
The Merseyside club have already been active in the market. Jeremie Frimpong was officially unveiled as the club’s new right-back earlier this month, replacing Trent Alexander-Arnold following his free transfer to Real Madrid.
Liverpool have also reached a verbal agreement to sign Bayer Leverkusen playmaker Florian Wirtz, and negotiations are ongoing with Bournemouth over left-back Milos Kerkez. Still, the recruitment drive appears far from over.
Salah’s burden highlights need for attacking depth
Despite winning the Premier League title last season, Liverpool leaned heavily on Mohamed Salah, who contributed to 47 goals across the campaign. While the Egyptian remains world-class, the club is conscious of the need to diversify its attacking output.
Luis Díaz started last season brightly but faded in the second half, while Cody Gakpo’s promising form was interrupted by injury. Darwin Núñez remains an enigma — capable of brilliance, but inconsistent.
Gordon fits Slot’s high-intensity system
Anthony Gordon would offer a dynamic option in attack. With 22 goals and 23 assists in 106 appearances for Newcastle, he’s proven his ability in the Premier League. His direct running, high work rate, and pressing make him a natural fit for Arne Slot’s tactical approach.
Despite Newcastle’s solid financial standing — bolstered by Champions League qualification — a nine-figure bid could test their resolve. Much may depend on whether Gordon pushes for the move himself.
Childhood Reds fan, and potential reshuffling
It’s worth noting that Gordon grew up a Liverpool supporter, which could influence his decision. Should a deal progress, Liverpool may look to offset the cost by selling one or more current forwards.
Both Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez have been linked with moves to the Saudi Pro League, while Díaz is also reportedly on Barcelona’s radar.
While no formal offer has been made yet, Liverpool’s interest in Gordon appears genuine. If completed, it would be one of the standout deals of the window — and a clear statement of intent as Arne Slot looks to leave his mark on a new era at Anfield.
