“Premier League Winger Dubbed a ‘Nightmare’ for Defenders Prefers Liverpool Move Ahead of Arsenal”

Anthony Gordon Favors Liverpool Move Amid Arsenal and Chelsea Interest

Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon has reportedly made it known that Liverpool would be his preferred destination over Arsenal or Chelsea, as speculation mounts over a potential summer transfer.

Valued at around £75 million, the 23-year-old has become one of the most in-demand players ahead of the new Premier League season.

Gordon was previously linked with a move to Anfield last summer, but Newcastle managed to hold onto him, with the winger playing a key role in their Champions League qualification and ending the club’s long wait for silverware.

Liverpool Is Gordon’s Top Choice

As reported by Graeme Bailey of TBR Football, Gordon has made it clear he sees Liverpool as his ideal move, despite serious interest from both London sides.

Arsenal and Chelsea are said to be targeting reinforcements on the left wing, and Gordon is high on both clubs’ radar. However, his personal preference appears to be a switch to Anfield—where he could fulfill a childhood dream.

Bailey noted:

> “Eventually, I think he’ll join Liverpool. Will it happen this summer? Probably not. But that’s where he wants to go. Chelsea and Arsenal both admire him—they’re looking to strengthen that left side—but Liverpool is where his heart is.”

Key Player at Newcastle

Since arriving from Everton in January 2023, Gordon has flourished under Eddie Howe, becoming an essential part of the Magpies’ high-intensity system. His relentless pressing, work ethic, and aggressive forward play have made him a standout performer.

The England international once described his own game by saying:

> “I know I’m a nightmare for anyone that I play against.”

What Comes Next?

While a transfer to Liverpool may not materialize this summer, Gordon’s admiration for the club remains well known. Newcastle will likely want to keep hold of him, but the long-term possibility of a move to Anfield continues to hover in the background.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are also monitoring other targets, including Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, as they look to strengthen multiple areas ahead of the 2025/26 season.
