DONE DEAL: Portsmouth sign Liverpool star winger Kaide Gordon on a loan deal
Former Derby County winger Kaide Gordon is set to join Championship rivals on loan from Liverpool.
According to reports, Gordon is expected to wrap up his move to Derby’s relegation rivals Portsmouth today on a loan deal until the end of the season. Gordon, 20, had been on loan at Norwich City where he made 10 appearances and scored in a 4-0 rout of Hull City earlier in the campaign.
But the Liverpool winger headed back to Anfield where he is being sent out on loan to Pompey who are three points above Derby in the Championship table. Gordon burst onto the scene at Derby under Wayne Rooney as a teenager and was quickly snapped up by Liverpool in February 2021.
After making his debut in a 3-0 win over Norwich City in the League Cup, then boss Jurgen Klopp said: “He’s good. A lot of things to improve, a lot of things to settle, a lot of things to learn but there’s a lot of things already there.
“We are really happy to have him around and we will treat him carefully, let me say it like this. But I am really happy that he is here, he is a big talent.”
Gordon has made seven appearances for the Reds and scored one goal, but an injury related to his growth kept him on the sidelines for long period of time.
But he is now back fit and will be hoping to make it a success at Pompey as they look to stay clear of an immediate return to League One.
