Liverpool target Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon to replace Cody Gakpo
Liverpool are considering a summer move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon as a potential replacement for Cody Gakpo.
The Merseyside club are actively attempting to gauge market interest in Gakpo through third-party representatives.
The Netherlands international has reportedly been offered to several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, as well as teams across Europe.
His departure would clear the path for Gordon, who has continued to impress Anfield officials with his dynamic performances on Tyneside.
Newcastle determined to keep star winger
Newcastle have made no secret of their intention to retain the 25-year-old.
The lightning-fast forward spent part of his youth development at Liverpool before joining local rivals Everton in 2012.
He eventually began his professional career at Goodison Park before making the high-profile switch to St James’ Park.
Arsenal monitor Roma defender Wesley
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Arsenal are stepping up their pursuit of Roma full-back Wesley Franca.
The Brazilian has been a revelation since joining the Serie A side from Flamengo last summer, registering an impressive four-goal haul.
Gunners scouts have noted the 22-year-old’s exceptional athleticism, defensive diligence and attacking threat.
His potential arrival could spell the end of Ben White’s time in north London, with the club reportedly willing to sanction a sale if the right offer arrives.
Mikel Arteta’s side are also monitoring Newcastle’s Tino Livramento, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Nnamdi Collins and Monaco’s Vanderson, while Everton share an interest in Wesley.
City firm on Haaland despite Spanish interest
Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are planning to test Manchester City’s resolve regarding striker Erling Haaland.
However, the Premier League champions have no intention of allowing their talisman to leave.
The Norway international is contracted at Etihad Stadium until 2031.
Haaland has experienced a rare dip in his usually prolific form, managing just five goals in 18 appearances since the turn of the year.
City are looking to strengthen the squad around the former Borussia Dortmund forward rather than entertain lucrative offers from La Liga.
