However, their struggles on the pitch this season, coupled with Gordon being unable to replicate the form he showed last campaign, mean he could be allowed to leave Merseyside this window.
The imminent arrival of Villareal winger Arnaut Danjuma also strengthens Frank Lampard’s options out-wide and could mean Gordon isn’t deemed a key player in his current first-team plans. Gordon has three goals in 16 league appearances this season.
