Anthony Gordon has agreed to sign a new six-year deal Newcastle United contract, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that the soon-to-be-announced deal is set to put off interest from Liverpool, who had been strong suitors for Gordon in the summer.
Football Insider first revealed on 6th September that the England winger was opening new contract talks before updating a fortnight ago that an agreement was now in place between player and club.
He had entered the final two years of his previous contract, and elite clubs including Liverpool were eyeing a possible cut-price deal for his signature next summer.
After extensive links with a potential move to Anfield during the transfer window, many Newcastle fans suggested his head had been turned by the speculation.
Now, the decision to sign such a long-term contract has put to bed the concern about a possible at the club, but sources say the Reds remain admirers of his.
