The England international has long been admired by Liverpool’s squad, but renewed uncertainty over Salah’s future has intensified debate over his potential successor.
As one of the Premier League’s most dynamic wide attackers, Gordon has developed into a player capable of influencing games at the highest level, as he showed in this season’s Champions League.
Gordon is Liverpool’s long-term target
Liverpool have been monitoring Gordon’s development over several seasons since his early days in English football.
Gordon is known to have grown up supporting Liverpool, and his ties to the club have been frequently mentioned in the media.
The Reds had previously explored the possibility of signing him, but circumstances and valuations prevented a deal from happening.
With Salah now in the latter stages of his contract and external interest lingering, Liverpool are reportedly reconsidering their long-term shortlist.
Gordon’s profile fits Liverpool’s attacking blueprint. He offers blistering speed, aggressive pressing and the ability to cut inside from wide areas.
Newcastle’s attacker has impressed this season
Newcastle United have relied heavily on Gordon’s attacking prowess this season, especially in Europe.
His 10 goals in the Champions League enhanced his reputation and demonstrated his ability to perform on an elite stage.
Performances like this have attracted widespread attention. Arsenal and Manchester United are also believed to be tracking his situation and putting competitive pressure on a potential deal.
As stated in the report, it would take an “extraordinary offer” for the Magpies to consider selling Gordon.
