Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones sparked rumours after posting a picture aimed at Anthony Gordon following the side’s victory in the Premier League.

Liverpool secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Newcastle on 26 February, extending their lead at the top of the table to 13 points and strengthening their title push.

Jones featured in the match, though only as a substitute, making a brief 11-minute cameo with little impact against the Magpies.

Newcastle were without Alexander Isak, who was sidelined with a suspected groin injury, leading to speculation that Eddie Howe may be saving him for the upcoming Carabao Cup final when the two sides face off once again.

Meanwhile, Gordon played the full 90 minutes for Newcastle but struggled to make an impression against Liverpool’s strong defence. Despite his own limited involvement, Jones posted a picture directed at Gordon after the game, reigniting rumours surrounding a potential move.

Anthony Gordon shares heartfelt message to Curtis Jones after Liverpool victory

After the match, Jones posted a picture on Instagram showing both him and Gordon overlooking Anfield. Gordon responded with a heartfelt comment saying, “My Brother.”

Several of Jones’ Liverpool teammates, including Virgil van Dijk, Darwin Nunez, and Ryan Gravenberch, also engaged with the post, further showing the camaraderie between the players.

Gordon had been heavily linked with a move to Liverpool during the summer transfer window after holding talks over a part-exchange move, but ultimately, the winger chose to sign a new deal with Newcastle.

While those rumours died down, Newcastle fans recently urged Liverpool to sign Gordon, especially with reports suggesting that the Reds might still be keen on signing him.

Jones has played more of a rotational role for Liverpool this season, starting just 12 league games, while Gordon has been a key player for Newcastle, starting 25 matches across all competitions.

Eddie Howe faces tough decisions as Carabao Cup final against Liverpool looms

With the Carabao Cup final fast approaching, there has been some debate over whether Howe should rest key players to ensure they are fully fit for the final. Howe has been urged to drop Isak as the side aim for their first major trophy in over 70 years.

Gordon has been crucial for Newcastle this season, particularly in the League Cup, where he scored a vital goal against Arsenal. His importance to the team is undeniable, but with the final on the horizon, Howe faces a tough decision regarding player fitness.

Despite the recent loss, it’s clear that Jones and Gordon share a mutual respect for one another, and with silverware on the line, the two will go head-to-head again in the upcoming final.
