Newcastle Star Anthony Gordon Linked with Arsenal Amid Transfer Window Chaos
The summer transfer window is coming to a close, and Premier League clubs are scrambling to finalize their squads before the deadline. One player who has been at the center of a lot of transfer speculation is Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
The 23-year-old has been instrumental for the Magpies since his £45million move from Everton last summer, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists in 48 appearances. His impressive form has attracted interest from top clubs across the league, with Liverpool and Arsenal both rumored to be interested in signing him.
However, it seems that Arsenal are now the favorites to land Gordon, with the Gunners’ sporting director Edu reportedly a big fan of the young winger. According to The Daily Mail, Edu has been monitoring Gordon’s progress closely and is weighing up a move for the player next summer.
But Newcastle are determined to keep Gordon, and have opened talks over a new contract that would reward him for his impressive form. The winger has reportedly been delighted with his time at St. James’ Park, and is eager to continue playing for the Magpies.
Despite the interest from Arsenal, it seems unlikely that Gordon will make a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has expressed his desire to keep the player, and has praised Gordon’s ability to make a difference on the pitch.
"I’ve seen Anthony come back in a good place. Especially this past week, he had a really short training period before that first game," Howe said. "We put him in as he’s a difference maker, it takes the younger players less time to get up to speed but I think this week he has looked back to his best."
Gordon’s future remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure – the winger has the talent and potential to play at the highest level. Whether he stays at Newcastle or moves to Arsenal, one thing is for sure – he will be an important player for his new club.
