Newcastle planning Anthony Gordon contract talks when forward returns from holiday

Newcastle United are looking to open contract negotiations with a forward named Anthony Gordon. The club aims to reward Gordon for his impressive first full season at St. James’ Park, which led to his selection for England’s squad in the European Championship. While the club had discussions about potentially selling Gordon to Liverpool, they always saw it as a last resort. Newcastle hopes that by initiating contract talks, they can prevent further interest from Liverpool, the club Gordon supported as a boy. Gordon joined Newcastle from Everton and has been an integral part of the team, contributing with goals and assists. There have been no negative conversations over the summer, and the head coach is confident in Gordon’s commitment to the club. Liverpool has had a quiet transfer window thus far.
