Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon was heavily linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool were reportedly keen on signing the player, but the Magpies had no intention to sell him. The 23-year-old has established himself as the key player for the club since joining them from Everton.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle will open talks with him regarding a contract extension. They are happy with his progress so far and they are ready to reward him for his performances. The 23-year-old is a key player for Eddie Howe and it will be interesting to see if the player is ready to commit his long-term future to the club.
The opportunity to join a club like Liverpool can be quite attractive and it would not be surprising if the England international decided to wait before committing his long-term future to the club.
Liverpool to return for Anthony Gordon?
Liverpool could certainly use more quality and depth in the wide areas, especially if Mohamed Salah moves on next summer. The Reds could easily return for Gordon in 2025, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have an ambitious project and they will be hoping to push for trophies in the coming seasons. They will look to compete in the Champions League regularly as well.
Signing top quality players and holding onto their best players should be a top priority for them. They cannot afford to lose a talented young winger like Gordon. The 23-year-old is likely to improve further and he could develop into one of the best attackers in the league with experience and coaching.
Newcastle must do everything in their power to agree on a new deal with the player.
