The Newcastle winger had been on the verge of becoming a member of the Reds two summers in the past and was reportedly ‘eager’ on returning to his native metropolis, however in the end he stayed put at St James’ Park and was a part of the Magpies squad which gained the Carabao Cup final yr.
There have been experiences in latest days that the Anfield giants stay fascinated with recruiting the 24-year-old and are main the race to signal him forward of Arsenal and Manchester Metropolis.
Nonetheless, talking to the media after scoring 4 instances in Newcastle’s 6-1 demolition of Qarabag on Wednesday, Gordon didn’t mince his phrases in placing the kibosh on discourse over a potential exit from Tyneside.
Gordon dismisses Liverpool rumours as ‘a load of garbage’
When he was requested in regards to the switch rumours which talked about Liverpool, the winger replied (through Chronicle Dwell): “About me? I haven’t seen them. What are they saying?
“It’s the identical outdated, standard. I believe they simply choose names out of a hat. They do! I haven’t heard something; they could need to inform me earlier than they let you know [the media]. I’ve gone via sufficient switch stuff now to know that it’s all a load of garbage.”
Are Liverpool prone to make a transfer for Gordon this yr?
It was reported that, in 2024, Gordon had his ‘head turned’ by the opportunity of returning to the membership which launched him at 11 years of age, however presently it appears that evidently he has no intention of leaving Newcastle.
His four-goal romp in Azerbaijan yesterday took him into double figures for the present Champions League marketing campaign, a pointy distinction to his tally of three in 20 Premier League video games, albeit that penalties comprise 50% of his European haul (Transfermarkt).
His homegrown standing and his skill to play anyplace throughout the frontline would little doubt be thought to be two main pluses amongst Liverpool’s recruitment workforce in the event that they had been to make a proper method for him, but it surely’s unclear simply how doubtless that’s to occur in 2026.
Gordon might sound extra attainable if Newcastle (at the moment tenth within the high flight) fail to qualify for Europe subsequent season, though the Magpies would understandly cost a premium for a key participant who turns 25 within the coming days.
For now we will most likely disregard the thought of the previous Everton winger returning to Merseyside for the Reds any time quickly, however that isn’t to say it’ll by no means occur, given the ever-changing circumstances of elite-level soccer.
