No bid was made and obvious from those conversations that Liverpool wouldn’t meet valuation. Gordon’s head is in a mess as he thought he had chance to join boyhood club.
Edwards admitted though that the after being denied his dream move to his boyhood club.

Ahead of bringing Gordon back into their pre-season programme, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said earlier this month: I’d welcome Anthony back with three arms if I had them. He’s an integral part of what we’re doing.
We’ve had no conversations over the summer where it has been fractious or negative. He’s always been the Anthony Gordon who has given absolutely everything to Newcastle and I want to make that clear to all our supporters.
Anthony needs a bit of a break but by the time he comes back, he’ll be ready to go. He’s such an important player for us. We didn’t want to lose anybody.
Why would we want to lose our best players? We fought really hard to make the right decisions but in those last few weeks it was very, very difficult.
