talent, the Magpies have to generate significant revenue through player sales.<\/p>\n<p>Because Gordon\u2019s stock has skyrocketed, having established himself as a regular in the England national team set-up, he is currently one of the few highly liquid assets in the squad who could command a genuinely astronomical transfer fee.<\/p>\n<p>Cashing in on him could essentially fund three or four high-quality signings across the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool are both closely monitoring the England international attacker.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool, in particular, have been heavily and consistently linked with the winger for over a year.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-stories std-mgn-b\">&#13;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<header class=\"col-s-12 std-mgn-t\">More Stories
