Could a local lad be on his way back home to light up Anfield? With Luis Diaz completing his high-profile switch to Bayern Munich, Liverpool appear to be setting their sights on a Premier League star who’s already caught their attention before — Anthony Gordon. ⚡

Sources close to the situation have hinted that Gordon is open to a Merseyside return — but this time in red. Former Premier League scout Mick Brown revealed that Liverpool could look to reinvest their Diaz windfall in the 24-year-old Newcastle winger.

🗣️ “He’s been on their radar for a while, and now that Diaz has gone, Gordon’s a name that keeps coming up,” Brown reportedly told Football Insider. “Liverpool are expected to push for a new winger, and Gordon ticks a lot of boxes — he’s hungry, explosive, and wants the move.”

🔥 A Season to Remember

Gordon enjoyed an impressive campaign last season, contributing 16 goals and assists for Newcastle. With his direct style and high work rate, the England international has drawn praise as a “wonderful player” — and Liverpool fans may see him as a natural fit on the wing.

With speculation around the futures of Federico Chiesa and Darwin Núñez swirling, Liverpool’s need for depth in wide areas is becoming urgent. Relying heavily on Salah and Diaz in recent seasons, the Reds know they can’t afford to be short out wide as they prepare to defend their Premier League crown.

💭 Boyhood Dream Incoming?

Let’s not forget — Gordon grew up a Liverpool fan. A move to Anfield could be a dream come true for the winger, who now has the chance to test himself at the highest level, compete for major honours, and potentially become a fan favourite.

While Newcastle have qualified for the Champions League and lifted domestic silverware, the opportunity to fight for Premier League and European glory with Liverpool might be too tempting to resist.

But here’s the twist — Newcastle are reportedly reluctant to part ways with Gordon, especially with striker Alexander Isak also attracting interest from the Reds. Will the Magpies stand firm or will Liverpool’s ambitions and financial muscle be too much to ignore?
