Newcastle United is reportedly determined to hold onto young talent Anthony Gordon after talks with Liverpool fell through last week. The Magpies had been in discussions with the Premier League giants over a potential transfer deal for the highly-rated midfielder. However, negotiations hit a snag and a move to Anfield now looks unlikely.
Gordon, who has been making a name for himself in the Newcastle youth set-up, is seen as a key player for the club’s future. The 19-year-old has impressed with his performances for the U23s and has caught the eye of several top clubs across Europe.
Despite interest from Liverpool, Newcastle is keen to keep hold of Gordon and are said to be preparing a new contract offer in an attempt to secure his long-term future at St James’ Park. Manager Steve Bruce is understood to see Gordon as a player with huge potential and is determined to integrate him into the first team in the coming seasons.
While it is always a blow to lose out on a potential transfer deal, Newcastle is confident that they can convince Gordon to stay and continue his development with the club. The Magpies are hoping that their investment in youth development will pay off in the long run, with Gordon poised to be a key part of their plans moving forward.
It remains to be seen whether Gordon will commit his future to Newcastle or if Liverpool will reignite their interest in the talented midfielder. However, for now, it seems that the Magpies are willing to fight to keep hold of one of their brightest prospects as they look to build for the future.
