Since his high-profile move to Newcastle United, Anthony Gordon has consistently been linked with a switch to Liverpool.
A well-known insider on X claims Gordon has made his intentions clear, instructing his representatives to “make the move happen” to Anfield.
Although he rose through the ranks at Everton, the 25-year-old has long supported Liverpool, and the chance to join his boyhood club is one he’s eager to seize. Alongside Liverpool’s interest, Arsenal—managed by Mikel Arteta—are also monitoring his situation.
It’s easy to understand why Gordon may be pushing for an exit from St James’ Park. Despite an outstanding season individually—scoring 17 goals in all competitions, including 10 in the Champions League—Newcastle have struggled domestically and are likely to miss out on European football next season.
At this stage of his career, Gordon is focused on competing for major trophies at the highest level. Liverpool, meanwhile, are in the market for top attacking reinforcements. With Hugo Ekitike sidelined by a serious Achilles injury and Mohamed Salah expected to leave at the end of the season, the Reds are in need of dynamic and dependable wide players.
A move to Anfield could elevate Gordon’s career further. His high pressing, tactical awareness, and Premier League experience make him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s intense style of play.
While Liverpool’s hierarchy are reportedly keen on bringing him back to Merseyside, they are taking a cautious approach—evaluating their summer budget and long-term plans before committing to what would likely be a significant transfer fee.
If Newcastle are forced to sell due to financial regulations, Gordon could be among the players to depart—and he appears ready to make the move. Despite interest from other top clubs, Liverpool may hold the decisive advantage thanks to Gordon’s emotional connection to the club.
Whether they follow through with an official bid remains uncertain, but his determination could make this one of the most intriguing transfer stories of the summer.
