“Terrible times for the TOONS, Marc Guehi deal wont be completed in time for our kickoff game, Now a top Pundit has made huge Anthony Gordon claims
Anthony Gordon, the 23-year-old winger currently playing for Newcastle United, has recently been at the heart of intense speculation regarding a potential transfer to Liverpool, with a sensational £100 million move being touted. The chatter surrounding this potential deal has gained significant momentum, especially with insights from former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor, who has strongly endorsed the idea of Gordon making the switch to his “boyhood club.”
Gordon’s journey through the world of football began at Everton, where he rose through the youth ranks and made a name for himself. Despite his deep roots at Everton, recent reports suggest that the Liverpool-born player harbors a strong affection for Liverpool FC. This connection has fueled speculation about a potential transfer, particularly following some financial maneuvering at Newcastle United.
The Daily Mail highlighted that during a critical juncture in Newcastle’s financial planning on June 30, the club considered making a high-profile sale to address their Financial Fair Play (FFP) and Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) concerns. Gordon’s name was reportedly discussed as a potential candidate for sale, though ultimately, the club decided to part with Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson for a combined £68 million instead. This decision, while relieving in the short term, has only added to the rumors that Liverpool might capitalize on the opportunity to sign Gordon.
Newcastle United’s CEO Darren Eales has been vocal in his insistence that Gordon, along with other key players like Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes, would not be leaving the club. Despite these assurances, Agbonlahor is adamant that Gordon should seize the chance to join Liverpool if the opportunity arises.
“I did some research on this, and I think he’s a Liverpool fan, isn’t he?” Agbonlahor told AceOdds. “He’s a Liverpool fan who played for Everton, then moved to Newcastle. If Liverpool comes in with an offer, it represents a much more appealing proposition. Liverpool has recently clinched the Champions League and is a club with a more stable and ambitious future, especially with new management bringing fresh ideas.”
Agbonlahor elaborated on Gordon’s previous move from Everton to Newcastle, noting that Gordon did not hesitate to force through his departure from Everton. “He was quite determined to leave Everton and join Newcastle. Given the current state of Newcastle, if I were in his shoes, I’d be looking at Liverpool and saying, ‘Goodbye, Newcastle; let me move to Liverpool, the club I support.’ It’s his hometown team and the club he has always dreamed of playing for.”
The prospect of Gordon moving to Liverpool is not just about a transfer; it’s about fulfilling a lifelong dream and aligning his professional career with his personal passion. For Gordon, this potential move represents more than just a career advancement; it’s an opportunity to return to his roots and play for the club he has supported since childhood. Agbonlahor’s strong endorsement underscores the sentiment that this is a chance that might not come again, making it a critical moment in Gordon’s career.
As Liverpool continues to strengthen their squad and Newcastle navigates their financial landscape, the possibility of Gordon making a high-profile switch remains a tantalizing prospect for fans of both clubs.
