Liverpool F.C. have once again found themselves at the center of transfer speculation, with strong links to Anthony Gordon during the recent summer window. The talented winger, currently playing for Newcastle United F.C., has now issued an official response addressing the rumours that connected him with a move to Anfield.
Throughout the summer, reports suggested that Liverpool were monitoring Gordon’s situation closely as they looked to strengthen their attacking options. Following the departure of key players and the need to refresh the squad under manager Arne Slot, Gordon emerged as a potential target due to his pace, versatility, and Premier League experience. His ability to operate on either wing, combined with his work rate and direct style of play, made him an appealing profile for Liverpool’s evolving system.
Speculation intensified after Newcastle faced financial pressure related to the Premier League’s profit and sustainability regulations. With several clubs reportedly circling, Liverpool were frequently mentioned as serious contenders. Gordon’s previous links to Merseyside — having started his professional career at Everton — added an extra layer of intrigue to the story. A potential move across Stanley Park would have been one of the most talked-about transfers of the window.
However, Gordon has now moved to calm the rumours. In his official response, he made it clear that he remains committed to Newcastle United and is fully focused on the club’s long-term project. He emphasized his appreciation for the support he has received from the fans and expressed gratitude toward the coaching staff for their belief in him. According to Gordon, while transfer speculation is a natural part of modern football, his priority has always been improving his performances and helping Newcastle compete at the highest level.
The England international also acknowledged that it is flattering to be linked with a club of Liverpool’s stature. Liverpool’s consistent presence in domestic and European competitions makes them an attractive destination for many players. Nevertheless, Gordon stressed that he is happy where he is and motivated by Newcastle’s ambitions, particularly their aim to establish themselves as regular contenders in both the Premier League and European tournaments.
For Liverpool, the response may signal that a move is unlikely in the immediate future unless circumstances change. The club continues to assess multiple options as they reshape the squad to suit Slot’s tactical philosophy. While Gordon fits the profile of a high-intensity, forward-thinking winger, Newcastle’s stance appears firm, and the player himself has not pushed for a transfer.
From Newcastle’s perspective, retaining Gordon is a major boost. Since arriving from Everton, he has developed into one of their most influential attacking players. His growth has mirrored the club’s rise under their current ownership, and losing him would have represented a significant setback.
As the transfer window closes and focus shifts fully to on-pitch matters, Gordon’s statement provides clarity amid weeks of speculation. While transfer rumours often dominate headlines, this episode underlines the importance of player commitment and stability. For now, Anthony Gordon remains a Newcastle player — and Liverpool will have to look elsewhere if they wish to reinforce their attacking ranks.
