# Liverpool: Fabrizio Romano drops Kaide Gordon update

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/) have bought out their sell-on clause from Kaide Gordon’s transfer from [Derby County](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/derby-county-news/), according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### The Lowdown: Gordon impressing at Liverpool

The 17-year-old made the move from Pride Park to the Reds in February 2021, with the striker considered one of the most exciting prospects in the country.

Gordon’s first-team playing time at Liverpool has been understandably limited but he has still managed [four appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/408662/Show/Kaide-Gordon) – including one in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) –  scoring once in that time.

A fresh update has now emerged regarding the youngster’s move to Anfield.

### The Latest: Liverpool buy out Gordon sell-on clause

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1523587627529555970?s=20&t=zO3fXxUIY9xNYyuCWd11rA) on Monday, Romano confirmed that Liverpool have paid £500,000 to get rid of the 20% sell-on clause which originally existed in the deal. The journalist revealed:

### The Verdict: Massive future ahead for Gordon

This is yet more shrewd work from Liverpool in the transfer market, ensuring that they don’t have to pay Derby a substantial amount should they eventually sell Gordon in the future.

However, the hope is that the teenager becomes a superstar at Anfield and that the Reds will never actively want to sell him, with Virgil van Dijk [hailing](https://www.si.com/soccer/liverpool/articles/van-dijk-praises-kaide-gordon) him as a ‘great talent’.

The 17-year-old has looked the part whenever he has been given a chance, possessing a great left foot and an eye for goal, while a tally of [seven goals and three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kaide-gordon/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/732119/verein/6922) in 10 appearances for Liverpool’s under-18s further outlines his potential.
