Liverpool Target Semenyo and Gordon as Potential Salah Successors
Recruitment sources say both wingers match Liverpool's preference for penetration with positional flexibility.
Overview
- Football Insider reports Liverpool are monitoring Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo and Newcastle's Anthony Gordon as options for a major forward signing.
- Club evaluators are said to value both players for direct running and the capacity to operate across multiple front-line roles.
- Mohamed Salah’s dip in form has prompted debate over his status, with the forward benched for the 5-1 Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt.
- Semenyo has six Premier League goals and three assists this season for Bournemouth, while Gordon has four goals in three Champions League games for Newcastle.
- CaughtOffside notes any January bid could be complicated by steep valuations and reluctance to sell, as Football365 adds Liverpool are also assessing a centre-back move with Marc Guehi linked and Ibrahima Konaté in his final contract year.
