Liverpool talent Kaide Gordon set to join Portsmouth on loan

According to the Athletic, Kaide Gordon is set to join Pompey on loan for the remainder of the season, with the England youth international returning to Liverpool this month after an unsuccessful loan spell at Norwich City.

Gordon was hailed by coach Barry Lewtas as a ‘phenomenal’ talent having made quite a name for himself at the Liverpool academy after joining from Derby County, though the 20-year-old winger has been hampered with injuries in recent seasons.

Heading out on loan to Norwich was viewed as a positive step in the right direction for Gordon’s development, with the winger showing with his limited minutes with Liverpool’s first-team that he has the potential to become a top player at the highest level.

And joining Portsmouth could provide just that for the youngster, who will be itching to get back out there having returned to Liverpool this month with Fratton Park proving to be a good ground for Premier League youngsters to hone in on their talents.

What have Liverpool players said previously about Gordon?

One of the youngest goalscorers in Liverpool’s history, there’s a reason why Gordon is still as highly-rated as he is despite nearly missing two years of action due to various injury and development problems.

And Liverpool’s first-team players have been seriously impressed with what they’ve seen from the winger, with Tyler Morton lauding Gordon as ‘quality’ after scoring his first and only goal for Norwich on loan earlier this season.

With Cody Gakpo also a big fan of Gordon, the 20-year-old has the right supporters on his side ahead of his loan move to Portsmouth, where the winger will be intent on making a name for himself after a torrid spell at Norwich.
