Famed Liverpool correspondent for The Athletic, James Pearce has revealed the recent rumors linking Liverpool with former Everton player, Anthony Gordon are very far from authentic.

According to Pearce, though the former Liverpool academy star is genuinely admired, the reports were rather hasty to suggest the Reds actually made a move for him as suggested. The journalist stresses that it is Newcastle that are desperate to raise funds with the Merseyside club receiving a proposal to buy him, which was quickly dismissed.

The 19-times premier league Champions believe that the valuation of the player by Newcastle United is excessive and the proposal to include Anthony Gordon in a swap deal with promising Liverpool academy graduate, Jarell Quansah is out of the table.

James Pearce insists the 2018/19 Champions League winners have no interests in selling or taking Quansah away from Anfield this summer, particularly when they are short of defensive options at the moment.
