More on Gordon

Newcastle considered swapping Anthony Gordon for Liverpool's Jarell Quansah.

However, the Reds weren't keen on that exchange during the summer transfer window.

The Merseysiders' new manager Arne Slot doesn't want to lose Quansah, who was part of England’s provisional Euro squad.

Liverpool also have plenty of options already out wide, although they would reportedly “have proceeded had the package been different”.

But eventually Slot's side “did not make an offer after discussions” with Newcastle chiefs.

Why Olise preferred Bayern

Michael Olise rejected Manchester United and  Chelsea for two reasons.

According to The Telegraph, Olise was persuaded to join Bayern from Crystal Palace following talks with new manager Vincent Kompany.

The same report adds that the prospect of playing Champions League football was also a factor behind the winger's decision.

Something which United and Chelsea are unable to offer as they will be playing in the Europa League and Europa Conference League respectively next season.

Anthony Gordon rumours

Newcastle were allegedly “ready to sell” Anthony Gordon to Liverpool this week.

According to the Daily Mail, the Magpies were willing to cash in on Gordon as “they strive to comply with financial rules”.

The same source claimed the Toon were open to sell the forward before June 30.

The deal with the Reds was “said to include defender Jarell Quansah heading in the opposite direction” but it “was not right” for the Reds.

That activated a clause in the agreement that allowed his move to become a permanent one, with Harwood-Bellis’s new deal beginning from today.

He said: “It’s no secret how much I enjoyed being here last season, so I’m delighted to officially become a Southampton player ahead of the new season.

“The feeling of bringing this club back to the Premier League and playing in front of these fans week-in and week-out has been amazing.

“I’ve learnt a great deal over the past two years and developed so much as a player and as a person. To have the opportunity now to represent this club in the Premier League is really special and I can’t wait to get going and to see all the lads again.”
