Liverpool’s prospects of securing a remarkable double signing seem to be on the rise. Two English internationals in the mix?
For the past couple of years, Liverpool has been frequently linked with Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers. Recent developments suggest that a transfer could be on the horizon.

Teamtalk recently reported on Liverpool’s interest in Gordon, who could come with a price tag near £100m. The winger fits the profile that the Reds are currently seeking.
In a similar vein, with Curtis Jones rumored to be leaving the club, Rogers could enhance Liverpool’s attacking options in midfield. Fabrizio Romano had previously confirmed interest last summer, though Aston Villa managed to retain him.
However, circumstances may be shifting now.
Anthony Gordon: Current Situation
Under contract with Newcastle United until 2030, Anthony Gordon extended his deal in October 2024. He has consistently been linked to top clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United, with valuations fluctuating between £75m and £100m. There’s speculation around a potential move as early as summer 2026, assuming a top club meets Newcastle’s asking price. While he has downplayed the rumors, his future continues to be a focal point in transfer discussions.

Morgan Rogers: Current Situation
Morgan Rogers signed a new six-year contract with Aston Villa in November 2025, tying him to the club until 2031 and placing him among the higher earners in Unai Emery’s squad. His performance has attracted interest from both Premier League and European teams, but the length of his contract and his significant role at Villa give the club substantial leverage to retain him. Recent reports indicate that he is seen as integral to Villa’s medium-term plans rather than a player available for transfer.
Analysis
Liverpool’s success with both deals hinges on various factors. Both Newcastle and Villa have ambitious objectives centered around consistent UEFA Champions League participation, but this also requires pushing their financial limits.

Consequently, a failure to secure European football often leads to necessary player sales. Newcastle appears poised to fall short of Champions League qualification for the upcoming season, and The Telegraph suggests that key players like Gordon could be available.
Similarly, Villa’s decline in form places them in jeopardy of missing out on Champions League spots, which could prompt a costly departure for Rogers to balance their finances.
This past weekend’s results have certainly edged the potential of a double deal in a favorable direction. Only time will tell if this momentum continues.
