Transfer blow for Liverpool as Newcastle hatch plan to ward off Anthony Gordon transfer interest from Reds

Newcastle want to reward Gordon with a new contract after his impressive campaign last season, that prompted Liverpool to show an interest signing the 23-year-old. The former Everton man grabbed 11 goals and 10 assists in 35 Premier League games while also featuring for England at Euro 2024.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Gordon was reportedly close to a shock transfer to Liverpool in July as Newcastle desperately scrambled to avoid punishment due to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-psr-loophole-aston-villa-chelsea-everton-rival-clubs-anger-transfer-business/blt79ea8942e74b24d0" target="_blank">PSR violations</a>. Discussions were held over a deal worth around £60 million ($67m) but the transfer fell through after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/newcastle-faced-premier-league-points-deductions-anthony-gordon-deals-june-30-psr-transfer-deadline/blt703fccaeb304520a" target="_blank">Newcastle sold Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson instead</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Gordon grew up following Liverpool and has previously admitted that one of the club's legendary former captains was his favourite player. He told <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xhieDGrrts" target="_blank">The Overlap</a>: "Steven Gerrard was my football hero growing up. Coming from Liverpool, he was like a God in Liverpool, and he was an unbelievable player."

DID YOU KNOW

According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5671545/2024/08/02/anthony-gordon-contract-transfer-newcastle/" target="_self">The Athletic,</a> Newcastle will engage in talks to extend Gordon's contract when he returns from his pre-season break next week. There were fears at St James' Park that Gordon had his head turned by speculation linking him to Liverpool, and Newcastle are hoping to ward off further interest by offering the forward a long-term contract on improved terms.
