What Anthony Gordon has already said about Anfield and Mohamed Salah as Newcastle star dreams of Liverpool move

Liverpool is nearing the sale of Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich for £70 million, creating a vacancy in the left attacking position at Anfield. Díaz started 28 Premier League matches for Liverpool last season under manager Arne Slot as the club secured the league title.

Anthony Gordon has emerged as a leading candidate to replace Díaz, with reports indicating the Newcastle United attacker is eager to join Liverpool. The England international has long harbored a dream of playing for the Reds and has publicly expressed deep admiration for the club, specifically citing Anfield as his favorite stadium after St. James' Park. He highlighted the emotional impact of the "You’ll Never Walk Alone" anthem, attributing his connection to growing up in Liverpool.

Gordon has openly discussed his reverence for key Liverpool figures, labeling Mohamed Salah "probably the best player in the world" due to his impactful positioning and runs, and describing Steven Gerrard as his childhood "football hero" and "like a God in Liverpool." He has played at Anfield three times with Everton and Newcastle, losing each match but registering one assist.

The potential move for Gordon, who is also admired by Arsenal, could materialize following Díaz's departure, aligning with the player's stated aspirations and Liverpool's broader interest in Newcastle talents, including Alexander Isak.
