Sensational boost for Liverpool: 17-goal star is desperate to join Liverpool have received a massive boost with news that one of the Premier League's best attacks is eager to join them. The Telegraph reports that Anthony Gordon would 'jump at the chance' to join Liverpool this year. The winger is a boyhood fan and it's been an open secret that he dreams of playing for the club.

Gordon, who broke into senior football at Everton, is one of the top-scoring forwards in English football right now. His 17 goals in all competitions have come along with another five assists, essentially providing exactly what Liverpool have been lacking. But even better, Gordon has been the fastest winger in the UEFA Champions League this season .

He's someone who ticks the boxes the Reds are after - and he's eager to make the move. It's an opportunity that may cost them ยฃ80m but things are set up nicely for Liverpool to get it over the line. Gordon is eager, Newcastle are likely willing to sell, and the only remaining question is whether they're willing to sell to the Reds .

Last summer's Alexander Isak pursuit caused a major falling out between the two clubs. That's a situation which could ultimately cost Liverpool their Gordon deal . But Newcastle do need a major sale to happen.
