Anthony Gordon's stance is revealed, as Liverpool targets a £40 million winger, according to sources.

According to sources that spoke to Thesportmoment, Liverpool is eager to sign Malick Fofana as a replacement for Anthony Gordon, a winger for Newcastle United, while the Lyon player's position on a possible move to Anfield also comes to light. 

With Premier League powerhouses Liverpool, Arsenal, and Aston Villa vying for his services, Fofana has become one of the most sought-after players in European sport. 

Thesportmoment is aware that Lyon's financial difficulties may make Fofana available for about £40 million, while his explosive displays have made him a prominent target.

According to sources who spoke to Thesportmoment, Liverpool has actively scouted the Belgium international winger because they see him as a more dynamic and affordable option than Anthony Gordon, the star of Newcastle United.

This Monday, Thesportmoment reported that although Newcastle wants at least £80 million for the England international, Liverpool is still interested in Gordon. 

Liverpool views Fofana as a possible long-term investment with the potential to become a top-tier winger. 

If Liverpool completes the sale of Luis Diaz despite Barcelona's interest in him, a move for Fofana might proceed more quickly because the Lyon winger's £40 million price tag makes him a more affordable alternative than other targets like Gordon.

Thesportmoment is aware that Arsenal is also very much in the running for Fofana, who finished the previous season with 41 appearances for Lyon, scoring 11 goals and dishing out six assists.

In order to support Bukayo Saka and rectify Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard's uneven play, the north London club is giving priority to forward reinforcements.

With their high-intensity style, the Gunners see Fofana's adaptability and directness as perfect, putting them alongside Liverpool as the leaders. 

Villa has contacted Fofana's representation and offered the winger consistent playing time under Unai Emery, according to sources who spoke to Thesportmoment.

The youthful winger, who is eager to continue his quick development, may be persuaded by the prospect of first-team prominence.

European powerhouses Juventus and Bayern Munich are also keeping an eye on Fofana outside of the Premier League.

For him, this would be a chance to keep improving and, most importantly, to show off his skills in a league that encourages transitional play.

But with the intense competition on the other side of the Channel, he will need to pick the correct team. 

Lyon's unstable financial status increases the likelihood of a sale. 

The possibility of a big-money move looms large, but Fofana is still focused on his performances.

Playing time, project ambition, and the opportunity to emulate his heroes will all play a role in Fofana's choice.

The 20-year-old's most likely destination seems to be the Premier League, and according to insiders, he would adore the opportunity to play in England.
