Pundit baffled after hearing who Liverpool could sign
Liverpool are yet to make any moves in this summer transfer window.
The Reds haven’t made their first signing ♋of the Arne Slot era yet, but they do have some targets in mind.
Fabrizio Romano 🍨stated a while ago that Liverpool are working on signing a centre-back, while links to Anthony Gordon just won’t go away.
Gordon to Liverpool could be on the cards this summer, but according to Steve Nic𒀰ol, spea🍎king on ESPN, this is a move that doesn’t make any sense.
Steve Nicol sceptical about Anthony Gordon move
Nicol spoke about the winger and his links to Liverpool.
“It doesn’t make any sense. Unless Mo Salah is going. Because I hope he is not playing Mo Salah through the middle. ꦉMo Salah is not at his best through the middle, and so, to sign Anthony Gordon to me would mean that Mo Salah is gone,” Nicol said.
“Otherwise, why are you signing him? 💧You have already got cover for Diaz with Gakpo, you have got Jota and Nওunez trying to get that centre-forward spot and you have got Mo on the right-hand side.
“I mean, you have got healthy comp൲etition, you have got five really stro🎉ng, good, sometimes brilliant players for three positions.
“I mean, where’s Anthony Gordon go💫ing to play? I think he’s a great player, I like him, but why are you spending £50 millio൩n on somebody unless you need them? And right now, if nobody goes, they don’t need him.”
Liverpool don’t need Anthony Gordon
As good a play𓄧er as Gordon is, Nicol does have a solid point here.
The Reds have so many p✨layers who can play down that left wing already.
Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota are all cap༒a꧂ble of playing down the left, and signing Gordon at this point would be overkill.
Of course, there is the idea that Gordon could play down the right and rotate with Mohamed﷽ Salah, but that isn’t his best posit✃ion, and there may be better options out there in that role.
This is 🎃a signing that makes little sense, i꧅t has to be said.
