Newcastle to Keep Gordon Amid Liverpool Interest

Newcastle United will not sell Anthony Gordon despite reported Liverpool interest, with the winger's contract until 2028 without a release clause.

Newcastle United stand firm on Anthony Gordon's future despite reported Liverpool interest. The winger's impressive form, with seven goals in his last 12 games, has attracted attention from higher-placed clubs, but the Magpies have no intention of cashing in on their in-form player.

The 22-year-old, who is a boyhood Liverpool fan, signed a new contract at St James Park until 2028 without a release clause, giving Newcastle significant leverage. Keeping Gordon represents a statement of the club's ambition to compete for Champions League places and domestic silverware.
