Jamie Carragher Reveals His Dream Liverpool Signging
The summer transfer window is well underway, and Liverpool is yet to make a significant signing. After a disappointing setback in securing Martin Zubimendi’s signature, former Reds defender Jamie Carragher has thrown his weight behind Anthony Gordon as his dream summer signing.
The Evertonian winger, known for his electrifying pace, has caught Carragher’s eye. "I’d like us to sign Anthony Gordon," the legendary defender told The Mirror. "I think his pace is frightening. It’s like you’re watching a game on TV and you just go ‘woah’ when you see someone leave a fullback. That’s what I think he could add if he was to come in."
Gordon’s lightning-quick speed is reminiscent of the late Sadio Mané, a key player during Liverpool’s golden era. "I think it’s that pace, Mane’s pace basically. I do think we lack that in attack," Carragher emphasized.
Newcastle United was reportedly keen on signing Gordon, but the transfer fell through due to the Magpies’ need to offload players to meet Premier League financial regulations. This turn of events has left the door ajar for Liverpool to swoop in and land the highly-rated winger.
Gordon enjoyed a breakout season in 2023/24, scoring 12 goals and assisting 11 in 48 appearances for Newcastle. He also made his England debut during Euro 2024, appearing as a substitute in Gareth Southgate’s side.
While Gordon’s signing may still be a long shot, Carragher’s endorsement is a significant endorsement of his talent. If Liverpool is to secure his services, they may be able to breathe new life into their attacking unit.
