Liverpool have made a slow start to the summer transfer window, remaining the only club among the so-called traditional 'Big Six' in the Premier League without a senior signing so far.
Several veteran stars, including Thiago Alcantara, Joel Matip, and Adrian, departed from the club at the end of June, leaving new head coach Arne Slot with a squad that requires bolstering.
As things stand, there has been little indication of new players arriving at Anfield. However, this situation may soon change, as transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update that could excite Liverpool fans.
Liverpool considering fresh move to sign Anthony Gordon
Romano claims the Merseysiders are discussing a fresh move for Newcastle and England star Anthony Gordon.
The 23-year-old electric winger enjoyed a fine first full season with the Magpies in the 2023/24 campaign, netting 12 goals and assisting 11 times across all competitions.
That stellar form earned him a spot in England's Euro 2024 roster, but he made just one substitute appearance at the tournament as the Three Lions fell short in the final once again, this time to a dominant Spain side.

The Italian journalist also adds that Liverpool-born Gordon has previously given the approval to a move back to Merseyside with the Reds, despite making 78 appearances for city-rivals Everton before his move to Newcastle midway through the 2022/23 season.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: "In the final days of June when they were in trouble with Financial Fair Play, Newcastle were approached by Liverpool for Anthony Gordon. There was an exchange, the player was keen on the move, so at that time Anthony Gordon gave the green light for a potential move to Liverpool.
"But Newcastle decided not to accept the proposals. It was just an exchange, just a conversation, not a formal bid. Liverpool wanted to make a proposal but it was not what Newcastle expected for Anthony Gordon.
"What I wanted to tell you tonight is that what I'm hearing is the interest from Liverpool in Anthony Gordon remains a strong interest, remains a concrete interest. He's a player they really rate internally, a player they really like. The name of Anthony Gordon remains high on Liverpool's list."
