All has gone quiet on Liverpool’s interest in Anthony Gordon this summer. That, however, could all be about to change.
The Daily Mail reports that Newcastle are now monitoring Joe Gomez amid their ongoing search for a centre-back.
This follows the Magpies’ failed fourth attempt to land Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi, which could yet open the door for the club to switch targets.
In turn, you could hardly blame Richard Hughes and Co. if they decided to take the potential opportunity to revisit talks over Gordon’s future.

The England international was in fine form in 2023/24, despite a relatively poor campaign from Newcastle, registering 23 goal contributions last term.
Should Liverpool try and get Anthony Gordon over the line this summer?
We’re in two minds over what this would then likely mean for one of Cody Gakpo or Luis Diaz.
The latter played the full 90 minutes of action in our 2-0 opening day win against newly-promoted Ipswich Town and looks, for all intents and purposes, a key part of Arne Slot’s plans this season.
Meanwhile, we can’t quite fathom the apparent lack of interest in finding a supporting act for the right wing given the lack of available rotational options.
We’re big admirers of Anthony Gordon and wouldn’t mind the player joining this summer. However, it’s a move that doesn’t necessarily address a genuine need in the squad, as things currently stand.

Gordon? not the player many think him to be.
Gomez was offered, without his knowledge, by Liverpool, and was not asked for by Newcastle United. Now Gomez wants to leave, but he’s nowhere near a £35-40m player. a benchwarmer at best for the last 10 years or so.
A top notch #6 – a six – a six – my kingdom for a 6, three year wait – can you imagine all the verbal punditry in that time as to why we have not landed one/a good one, many top notch available players have come and gone in that time/somewhere somehow the ball has been well and truly dropped! And now the latest jargon – oh it’s too late in the window – we will wait and use what we have until January/poor/very poor retort to the ongoing/lengthy problem! YNWA.
Don’t get me wrong, Gordon is a good player, but I don’t see any reason why Liverpool should rush on him. As a Reds fan, we have enough cover in his position when match fit. What we should be doing is extend the contracts of Van Diyk and Co. and support our new manager and see who he wants to add without swapping players.
I just don’t get Liverpool what they doing in the transfer market they tried to sign Andre from Fluminesnse and now he is available they don’t go after him. Bunch of bull – – – – – – – – tell the fans any crap.
I don’t think the club are saying anything ,just media scratching around . Just wait, these fellas know what they’re doing 😉
Cant agree with you more Tony
Klopp tried to sign Andre from Flum. Slot doesn’t need the same kind of 6 that Klopp did.
Am one of the guys who is angry with what is happening down in Zimbabwe. Its time that Liverpool get one guy for position no. 6. Another guy in defence would do. Its a plus to take a replacement of Salah!

Sorry to say but i do not like slot,when i see our boys playing football i still see mister big boss Jurgen Klopp,,’team,the best team ever,the board made big mistake getting slot.
Better if you save your judgement until the end of the season. How can you judge him after one game, a game which we won by the way. So far I don’t have a problem with him at all, we’re passing our way through teams at the moment instead of “Let’s all rush forward as fast as we can” which led to us conceding the first goal constantly.
They are not the best ever.
Did you see the teams of the 70s .80s even into the 90s.
They would have taken klopps teams apart.if this present squad is allowed to
Grow they could become the best.but not yet.
