Salah is entering the final year of his Liverpool contract and the 32-year-old’s long-term future remains up in the air. And former Liverpool star Dietmar Hamann believes Gordon would be a “brilliant” replacement for Salah, with the winger a boyhood Reds fan.

“No one really knew what to expect when Liverpool signed Mohamed Salah, on the other hand, we’ve seen Anthony Gordon have a huge impact in the Premier League,” Hamann told Top Offshore Casinos.

“He did so at Everton even when they were struggling and after a tough start at Newcastle he has battled through and he’s one of their best players now. I read somewhere that Liverpool is his boyhood club and I think it would be a brilliant signing, it also looks like Newcastle might need to sell some players this summer too.

“So Gordon would be great. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been mentioned from Napoli who said he wants to leave the club. But then obviously it depends on what Salah does. It’s been said for the last few years that it’s his last season and that he’s going to go in the summer.

“So obviously we need to find out and see what’s happening but I think Gordon would be a brilliant signing because obviously going forward, if you’ve got pace, it just changes games.

‌He had a brilliant season for Newcastle and we need somebody who steps up and scores these goals in important games because if you look at the last three years or so with Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunes and Luis Diaz, they have all done well but you could only really rely on Salah when the chips were down. Potentially Gordon could do that role.”

Mirror Football understands that Newcastle approached Liverpool over selling them Gordon earlier this summer, but talks ultimately broke down when it was suggested that Jarell Quansah could move in the opposite direction.

Gordon was previously part of Liverpool’s academy until he was released at the age of 11 and ended up joining Merseyside rivals Everton and he has previously named Reds legend Steven Gerrard as his childhood idol.

” Steven Gerrard was my football hero growing up,” Gordon said in an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap. “Coming from Liverpool, he was like a God in Liverpool, and he was an unbelievable player.”
