Aston Villa and Newcastle Eye Liverpool Man ahead of January window

Joe Gomez, the 27-year-old English centre-back, is looking for a fresh start after a frustrating spell at Liverpool. Despite efforts to leave during the last summer transfer window, the move never materialised, but Gomez is set to try again in January. With playing time limited under current manager Arne Slot, a switch seems increasingly likely.

Gomez Struggles for Game Time at Liverpool

Once a key figure in Liverpool’s defence, Gomez has found himself slipping down the pecking order. The England international, who has 15 caps, now sits behind Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, and even rising star Jarell Quansah in the defensive hierarchy. With first-team opportunities scarce, it’s no surprise that Gomez is exploring his options for regular football elsewhere.

Having joined Liverpool in 2015 from Charlton Athletic for just under €5 million, Gomez has featured in 225 matches and provided 9 assists during his Anfield career. While he has been a reliable presence in the past, injuries and tactical shifts have seen him lose his starting spot.

Aston Villa and Newcastle United Monitoring Gomez’s Situation

Aston Villa and Newcastle United are keeping a close eye on Gomez’s situation. Both clubs are reportedly ready to make offers in the January transfer window as they look to strengthen their defensive options. Given his experience and versatility, Gomez would be an attractive addition to either side, especially with European competition on the horizon for both clubs.

Valued at €28 million by Transfermarkt, Gomez could offer a solid solution for teams in need of defensive reinforcement. For Gomez, a move could reignite his career and provide the regular playing time he craves.
