Liverpool's plan to replace Mohamed Salah is gradually emerging with Anthony Gordon as a target, while Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of midfielder Hayden Hackney.

The European football transfer market is heating up with strategic moves from major Premier League clubs. Attention is focused on Liverpool's plans to revamp their attack and Manchester United's campaign to rebuild their midfield for next season.

Liverpool reactivates pursuit of Anthony Gordon.

Liverpool are seriously considering resuming their interest in Anthony Gordon to bolster their attack amid uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah's future at Anfield. Reports from Football Insider suggest Gordon's departure from St James' Park this summer is increasingly likely following a disappointing season for Newcastle.

The link between Liverpool and Gordon is considered very promising, as the English player has been a Liverpool fan since childhood. This advantage gives the Merseyside club a significant edge over Arsenal in the race to sign the winger.

Arsenal receive a signal from Nico Williams.

In addition, Arsenal are also making progress in approaching Nico Williams. According to TEAMtalk, intermediaries have informed the Gunners that the Athletic Bilbao star is willing to consider leaving the Basque club this summer. Although the 23-year-old Spanish international recently signed a long-term contract, the deal actually includes a release clause worth around €100 million.

Williams' representatives have stated that they will listen to suitable sporting projects, although the player has not publicly requested a departure in order to maintain his relationship with his hometown team.

Manchester United are pursuing Hayden Hackney.

At Manchester United, the squad rebuilding strategy under the new regime is focusing on promising young talents. The top target for the Red Devils is Hayden Hackney of Middlesbrough. The club's scouting team is reportedly closely monitoring the 23-year-old's performance.

Previously, Middlesbrough had shown a firm stance by rejecting offers from Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur in January. However, experts believe Hackney's move to the Premier League next season is inevitable given the interest from these big clubs.

Other notable transfer developments

Hakan Calhanoglu's future at Inter Milan is also becoming a big question mark. The stalled contract extension negotiations have led a number of major European clubs and giants from the Saudi Pro League to enter the race to sign the Turkish midfielder.

Meanwhile, the race to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa is intensifying as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Liverpool have both officially joined the fray. This attacking midfielder is currently one of the brightest talents in the Premier League thanks to his aggressive playing style and high potential for creating game-changing moments.

In Merseyside, Everton are working to dash any hopes Tottenham Hotspur have of signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The Toffees' management insists on maintaining a firm stance against selling the 27-year-old star in order to ensure squad depth for long-term goals.
