The Reds c🅘ruised to a comfortable 2-0 victory against Ipswich Town, though it could’ve been four or five nil, in tru♋th🌟.

Joe Gomez ready to ‘quit’ Liverpool after being linked to Chelsea

Slot left out Joe Gomez from the matchday squad yesterday and it’s now emerged that he’s ‘set to quit’ Liverpool, according to the Daily Mail.

Gomez is considering his options and is already attracti𒉰ng interꦏest from a number of clubs in the Premier League.

༒According to , Chelsea are one of the interested parties whilst Fulham and Aston Villa are also keeping an eye on his situation✃.

The 27-year-old had a £45m switch agreed to join Newcastle earlier in the summer🐲 with Anthony Gordon coming the other way but𝐆 that deal failed to materialise.

Liverpool not forcing Joe Gomez out

It’s understood that Gomez isn’t being forced out and will be reintegrated into the squad if he fails𝐆 to agree a move elsewhere.

The England international’s versa𓄧tility is valued around Anfield and given he’s Liverpool’s longest-serving player, the club are clearly eager to manage his situation respectfully.

Only 12 days remain of the summer transfer window, so time is c෴ertainly not of the essenc♊e to get a deal done.
