Liverpool appear to be making significant strides in the transfer market as new manager Arne Slot begins shaping the squad in preparation for the upcoming season. Reports suggest that the club is close to finalizing deals for three promising talents: Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, and Florian Wirtz. These potential additions highlight Slot’s intent to inject fresh energy and quality into the team. However, Liverpool’s business in the transfer window may not end there, as the club is reportedly seeking to bring in at least one more attacking player to bolster their offensive options.
One name that has emerged prominently on Liverpool’s radar is Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon. The dynamic winger, who has been linked with the Merseyside club for some time, is also attracting interest from other Premier League sides, including Arsenal. Despite Newcastle having secured a Champions League berth, there are indications that Gordon could still be available this summer. If that happens, Liverpool are expected to be among the frontrunners to secure his signature.
According to former football scout Mick Brown, speaking to *Football Insider*, Liverpool’s interest in Gordon remains strong, even amid ongoing talks for a big-money move involving Florian Wirtz. Brown pointed out that Gordon has been a long-standing target for the Reds, and his connection to the city—being a Liverpool native and a former Everton academy product—could be an advantage in any potential negotiations. The club’s familiarity with Gordon, both on and off the pitch, reinforces their interest.
Currently, Liverpool’s attacking department includes players like Luis Díaz, Cody Gakpo, and Darwin Núñez. However, with rumors of possible departures in the summer transfer window, the door could open for Gordon to join the squad. Brown noted that if one or more of these current forwards were to leave, Gordon might be brought in as a direct replacement, particularly if Arne Slot has reservations about the current attacking options at his disposal.
That said, Newcastle are unlikely to let go of Gordon without a fight. The England international has been one of their standout performers, and the club sees him as an integral part of their future. Nonetheless, Liverpool remain optimistic. If they can create the right circumstances—especially by reshaping their forward line—they may well be able to persuade Newcastle to negotiate, giving them a genuine chance to land Gordon ahead of next season.
