BREAKING NEWS: Terrible news has been confirmed for Liverpool after today’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth.

Liverpool’s hopes of signing Anthony Gordon have taken a hit amid reports that the player is close to agreeing on a new contract with Newcastle. Arne Slot’s tenure as Liverpool’s new manager began impressively, with three consecutive wins, including a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. However, the team’s momentum was halted by a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, despite dominating the game.

In that match, Liverpool created numerous scoring chances but lacked their usual composure in front of goal, failing to capitalize on their opportunities. While the team has been strong overall, they have struggled to consistently threaten from the left wing. Players like Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez have shown flashes of quality but have not matched the steady contributions of Mohamed Salah on the right.

Liverpool has been linked with a move for a new left winger, specifically targeting Anthony Gordon from Newcastle. The club reportedly made several attempts to sign the 23-year-old over the summer but were unsuccessful. Now, securing Gordon’s transfer looks even more challenging, as reports suggest he is set to receive a new contract that would make him the highest-paid player at St. James’ Park, earning around £9 million per year.

Given this development, Liverpool’s interest in Gordon may cool, especially after signing Federico Chiesa for a bargain price during the summer transfer window. Whether Liverpool will continue to pursue Gordon may depend on his performances going forward.
