According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Anthony Gordon would prefer to join Liverpool instead of Arsenal and Chelsea. The English international is a boyhood Liverpool fan, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for him.
The Premier League champions could use more depth in the wide areas. Luis Diaz has been linked with a move away from the club, and Federico Chiesa has not been able to hold down a regular starting spot. The Italian international could be on his way out of the club this summer. He has been linked with a move back to Italy.
Gordon could prove to be a quality addition for Liverpool, and he will help them create goalscoring opportunities in the final third. The Englishman has proven himself at Newcastle, and it remains to be seen whether the Magpies are prepared to sanction his departure. He is one of their best players, and it will not be easy for Liverpool to design the player. He is valued at £75 million.
Meanwhile, Arsenal need more attacking depth as well and have their sights set on Anthony Gordon. It remains to be seen whether the Gunners decide to make a move for him in the coming weeks. They have the resources to pay a premium for him, but the reported £75 million price is quite steep. Any club hoping to sign Gordon will want to sign in for a more reasonable amount of money.
As far as Chelsea are concerned, they need attacking reinforcements this summer. Mykhailo Mudryk is facing a lengthy ban for doping, and Chelsea have decided not to sign Jadon Sancho permanently. They need more quality in the wide areas, and Gordon would be an exceptional acquisition. The Newcastle United winger is well settled in the Premier League, and he could make an instant impact.
The English international has the quality to improve all three clubs. It remains to be seen where he ends up eventually. Liverpool certainly have an advantage in the race, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
