Anthony Gordon has become a key player at Newcastle. He recently broken into the England setup, remains firmly on Liverpool’s radar. The Reds had tried to sign the former Everton winger last summer. But, the Magpies chose to sell other players to balance their books.
Now, Eddie Howe’s side is once again facing financial issues. So, Gordon could be the one sacrificed.
