Liverpool are considering Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon as a replacement for Cody Gakpo, according to ESPN's Transfer Talk coverage of current transfer speculation.
The report indicates the Merseyside club is exploring options involving the England international winger, who has established himself as a key player at Newcastle since his move from Everton in January 2023.
Player Profiles
Gordon, 23, has become a regular starter for Newcastle United and earned his first England caps in 2024. The winger operates primarily on the left flank, similar to Gakpo's preferred position at Liverpool.
Gakpo joined Liverpool from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 for a reported fee that could rise to €50 million. The Dutch international has made over 70 appearances for the club across all competitions since his arrival.
Transfer Context
The speculation emerges during the January transfer window, when Premier League clubs can officially complete player transactions. Liverpool have historically been active in winter transfer periods, though major signings have been relatively rare under manager Jurgen Klopp's tenure.
Newcastle United would likely demand a significant fee for Gordon, given his importance to their squad and his contract situation at St. James' Park. The player signed a long-term deal with Newcastle following his move from Everton.
Any potential transfer would represent a significant Premier League move between two clubs with European ambitions, though the reported interest remains at the consideration stage according to the ESPN coverage.
