Newcastle United's summer transfer window was far from the way they had expected it to be. However, the club did manage to retain its core of star players, including Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, and Captain Bruno Guimaraes. But, not to forget, at a stage during the transfer window, the Magpies club had come close to considering selling their star winger Anthony Gordon.

Is a failed move to Liverpool intriguing Newcastle's star winger?

Being a Magpies star, an offer for a club like Liverpool would've been a dream of many, and the same was in the case of Gordon. Moreover, since the start of the new Premier League campaign, the 23-year-old hasn't been convincing, given that he had become one of the fan favorites after an excellent 2023/24 campaign. Thus, the question arises: Is a failed move to Liverpool intriguing Newcastle's star winger?

Not to forget, Anthony Gordon has had close links to Liverpool since his early days. Starting in the youth academy of the Reds and being a Liverpool supporter in his childhood, it has always been a dream for Gordon to represent the club. However, the club, complying with the PSR issue at the cost of Yakuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, kept the star winger tied to the club.

Although it is well known that a move for Liverpool would have been a dream one for the winger, Gordon's love for Newcastle United has never declined. Even though, in the early stage of the season so far, Gordon hasn't been as effective in front of the goal as fans expected him to be, he still is trying his best to regain his form.

According to reports from The Telegraph, Anthony Gordon is working significantly in the club's training sessions. Moreover, unlike the case when he had asked for a Magpies move, being at Everton, Gordon has never disclosed any regret of not joining the Liverpool club or asking for an away move.

Overall, it is quite clear that such a rough phase in the forward's Newcastle career isn't affected by any exit move interest. While he certainly is off to a rather slow start in the new Premier League campaign, he would eventually find his form well, given the talented winger he is. Newcastle fans would hope that the English international soon returns to his best, helping the Tyneside club reenter European football.
