Newcastle United make Anthony Gordon replacement plan as uncertainty increases
Newcastle United could lose one of their key players this summer as Anthony Gordon has been linked with a move away from the club.
Liverpool have been mentioned as his next possible destination and the player is keen on a move but the Magpies have no intention to sell the player this summer.
However, nothing is certain in football and stranger things have happened and to deal with that, Eddie Howe’s team have made a plan about how to replace Gordon if he leaves the club.
According to i News, West Ham United duo Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus will be targeted by Newcastle if they lose Gordon to Liverpool.
The Magpies wanted to sell Gordon to the Reds in order to generate funds to deal with Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.
After selling Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson to Brighton and Nottingham respectively, their financial demands were met and they changed their mind about letting Gordon leave.
The England international, who is a boyhood Liverpool fan, is now keen on a move to Anfield and should he leave the club, the Magpies will potentially bid for either Bowen or Kudus.
Bowen scored 20 goals last season for the Hammers while Kudus scored 14 times in his debut season for the east Londoners.
Both the players performed brilliantly last season and carried the Hammers attack on their shoulders.
Can West Ham allow Bowen or Kudus to join Newcastle United?
West Ham would not want to lose an important member of the starting line up but if they receive a good offer, they can cash in on them, considering they have already signed two more attack minded players this summer in Crysencio Summerville and Luis Guilherme.
Gordon scored 11 goals in the league last season and provided 10 assists for the Magpies, showcasing his goal scoring and goal creating abilities.
Howe would want to keep his star player at the club but it all depends on how serious Liverpool are in signing him this summer and what offer they come up with.
