Newcastle United fans are convinced Anthony Gordon’s head was turned after his performance in the 1-0 win against Southampton.
Eddie Howe’s side came back to win 1-0 despite being short-handed with Fabian Schar sent off, but fans couldn’t help but notice Gordon’s display.
The winger looked tired and lazy throughout and failed to make an impact on the game, and fans now believe he could leave the club before August 31.
He was linked with a big-money move to Liverpool throughout the summer transfer window, amid suggestions he would be keen to join his boyhood club.
Football Insider revealed on August 3 that the Reds have a “concrete and active” interest in the £100m-rated England winger.
Now fans are convinced he will move.
Anthony Gordon could be pushing for a move to Liverpool after what fans saw at Newcastle v Southampton
Newcastle were determined to keep hold of their star man throughout the summer despite huge interest following his impressive performances last season.
Gordon scored 12 goals and collected 11 assists in all competitions last time out and won the club’s player of the season award.
But fans are now convinced he wants to leave before August 31 and took to social media to call his display “sloppy” and “horrible”.
