“He is a player they really rate internally, a player they really like. And so the name of Anthony Gordon remains high on Liverpool’s list.
“Then we know that for this summer, they are looking at midfield, they are looking at the centre-back position also.
“So there are other things to do for Liverpool in the summer transfer window, they are considering to do these things, so we will see when and how and if Liverpool will decide to advance.”
