Curtis Jones has been a tad out of favour at Liverpool this season.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

When Jurgen Klopp<\/a> was the man in charge, Jones had a more or less regular starting role with the Englishman often being used as the Reds\u2019 more advanced central midfielder. <\/p>\n

Since Arne Slot<\/a> has come in, however, he\u2019s more often than not stuck with the same midfield trio each week, which has meant that the likes of Jones and Harvey Elliott have had much less playing time<\/a> than they\u2019d have desired. <\/p>\n

When called upon, Jones<\/a> has been solid and, in comparison to the game time Elliott has been receiving, it feels like the Scouser should be thankful for the amount he\u2019s been given. <\/p>\n

The midfielder has improved a lot over the last couple of seasons, with advice on what he should do next seeming to come from many different places. <\/p>\n

Anthony Gordon has told Curtis Jones he needs to be more \u2018mature\u2019 with the way he dresses<\/p>\n

Jones and Anthony Gordon<\/a> have been friends ever since they were in the academy together. <\/p>\n

Things didn\u2019t end up working out for Gordon at Liverpool<\/a>, but both have gone on to have fairly impressive Premier League<\/a> careers thus far. <\/p>\n

In a recent interview with British GQ, Jones was asked whether he had any footballers he was friends with outside of the game, to which he replied: \u201cAnthony Gordon is probably my only best mate in the football world. He\u2019s trying to change me, saying, You\u2019re a dad now, you need to be more mature with how you dress.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was then asked if he had taken the advice given by Gordon on board which sparked the following response: \u201cYeah, I\u2019ve invested in a classier vibe and look now. At first I started out saying I could never dress like that, but the more he was around me, explaining how he felt, I was like,\u00a0Oh, OK, OK.\u00a0I guess it\u2019s good that I can play both sides, you know what I mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool could end up targeting Anthony Gordon if Luis Diaz is sold<\/p>\n

The Reds\u2019 interest in Gordon can be traced back to when he played for Everton, with Liverpool\u2019s interest also being piqued recently<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Indeed, the Anfield outfit were also heavily interested in Gordon last summer<\/a>, but after he signed an extension to his Newcastle contract, the deal was chalked off. <\/p>\n

And now, according to a new report from The i<\/a>, Liverpool could \u2018target\u2019 a move for the Englishman once again. <\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s current stance is that they\u2019d like to keep him, but the report adds that a \u2018big enough offer\u2019 could tempt them to sell up. <\/p>\n

At the moment, however, it seems like Luis Diaz is set to stay at the club after Liverpool rebuffed Barcelona\u2019s first approach<\/a> for the winger on 5 June. <\/p>\n

Indeed, only time will tell what the future has in store, but for now, it doesn\u2019t seem like Jones will be reunited with his best mate at Liverpool any time soon. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Curtis Jones has been a tad out of favour at Liverpool this season.
