with England teammate and Liverpool star Curtis Jones, Gordon revealed that his idol growing up was Anfield legend Steven Gerrard.

“Correct, Stevie G. I think he is every Scouser’s idol, isn’t he?”

It could be a busy summer for Gordon. Arsenal are said to be very keen on recruiting him as their new starting winger, but if Liverpool were to come calling, the expectation is that they would be favourites to sign him given his childhood allegiances.

But it is worth noting that Liverpool are probably not going to make a move for Gordon unless they sell Luis Diaz, who has been linked with Barcelona in recent months. And another obstacle will be Newcastle, who are under no pressure to part ways with one of their most important players – especially considering that he signed that new contract only a few months ago.
