Liverpool's top target makes decision on his future

Although his natural position is on the left-wing, Howe has used him as more of a striker this term which proves how much versatility he has in his locker.

A move for the 25-year-old felt like it was off the table as both Gordon and Newcastle seemed happy with his performances.

However, due to the PSR constraints hanging over the Magpies' heads, they're now looking to move him on with a fresh report now detailing what the winger sees happening in his future.

"Anthony Gordon has top options in the Premier League. However, his preference is a move abroad - a new challenge. If so, then FC Bayern is his desired destination," Florian Plettenberg wrote via his personal X account.

"Bayern are offering a top contract until 2031. The bosses Dreesen/Eberl are talking directly with Newcastle.

"Bayern are currently offering €60m. Newcastle United have not yet lowered their demands. No agreement in sight at this stage."

Liverpool must do everything in their power to get Anthony Gordon to change his mind

As mentioned, Gordon has been on Liverpool's shortlist for as long as many can remember.

The Englishman is probably going to be called up to Thomas Tuchel's World Cup squad and will be mainly used as Harry Kane's back-up.

However, the fact that he can be moved onto either wing and the fact that he's already contributed to 22 goals across all competitions this season proves how much of an asset he could be.

Alexander Isak was obviously Liverpool's marquee signing last term but, since he's not been unleashed yet due to injuries, it feels like bringing Gordon into the equation could help make things a bit easier for him.

Indeed, Hugo Ekitike is expected to return to the pitch by January so another number nine maybe isn't exactly what Slot needs.

But, since Gordon is English, would be available for around £69 million and has already proven himself to be a Premier League level player, it feels like a no-brainer for the Reds to make a move for him.
