Sensational boost for Liverpool: 17-goal star is desperate to join

But Newcastle do need a major sale to happen. That may end up forcing them to deal with Liverpool, if Gordon is truly set on a move.

Anthony Gordon: Situation Summary

Newcastle United Situation and Individual Form

As of 16 April 2026, Anthony Gordon remains one of the few consistent performers in an otherwise underwhelming campaign for Newcastle United. The 25-year-old has notched seven goals and four assists in 30 appearances across all competitions, frequently carrying the offensive burden for Eddie Howe's side. Despite the Magpies languishing in 12th place, Gordon’s high-intensity pressing and direct running have seen him maintain his status as a key figure in the England squad. He recently featured in the Three Lions' spring friendlies, and his ability to play across the front three has made him indispensable during Newcastle’s persistent injury crisis.

Summer Transfer Prospects and Valuation

With Newcastle almost certain to miss out on European football for next season, Gordon is reportedly considering his options ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Liverpool remains heavily linked with the winger, viewing him as a homegrown replacement for the departing Mohamed Salah, while Arsenal have also expressed firm interest. To reflect his contract which runs until 2030, Newcastle have placed a restrictive £85 million price tag on the player. Sources suggest Gordon is keen to compete in the Champions League to cement his starting spot for England, and a high-profile move this summer is viewed as increasingly likely if a suitor meets the Magpies' significant valuation.
