Newcastle Stand Firm on Gordon Amid Liverpool Links

Newcastle United will stand firm on their stance to keep Anthony Gordon, despite renewed Liverpool interest in the in-form winger.

Newcastle have no intention of selling Anthony Gordon despite links with Liverpool, according to talkSPORT. The winger's recent form, with seven goals in his last 12 games, has attracted attention, but the club's message is clear: they plan to keep their star player. Gordon's contract until 2028, which doesn't include a release clause, gives Newcastle significant leverage in any potential transfer discussions.

Despite Gordon's background as a boyhood Liverpool fan and his previous close move to Anfield, sentiment appears unlikely to override the club's resolve. Newcastle's stance represents a statement of their ambition as they look to build a squad capable of competing for Champions League qualification and domestic silverware, rather than being a selling club by default.
