– Gordon’s Sentiments: Gordon admitted that the transfer talk was difficult for him, especially after England’s disappointing Euro 2024 campaign. He stated, “It was difficult for me because one, I had the Euros, which was horrendous for me mentally. I was there, I wasn’t playing. Then I had the transfer stuff.”

– Support for Isak: Gordon hopes everyone gets what they want in the end regarding Isak’s transfer situation. He said, “I understand what Alex is going through. I feel for him. He will be going through a lot. The club is going through a lot. I hope everyone gets what they want in the end.”

Transfer Update
