Arsenal are lining up a potential £60 million move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon ahead of the summer window, but they are set to face strong competition from Manchester City.
The interest comes with Arsenal looking to add more quality in wide areas as they plan for next season. Gordon has been one of Newcastle’s standout performers and has caught the eye with his pace, direct running and work rate, making him an attractive option for Mikel Arteta’s side.
However, any deal is expected to be difficult. Newcastle are under no obligation to sell and would be reluctant to lose an important player, while City are also in the frame, setting up a potential transfer battle between two Premier League title challengers.
What is revealed is that Arsenal are actively lining up a £60m swoop for Gordon as part of their summer planning, but they will have to contend with City’s interest if they want to get a deal done.
Gordon has continued to build his reputation at St James’ Park and has become a key figure for Eddie Howe. Arsenal’s recruitment team have been tracking options to strengthen their attacking depth, and Gordon’s Premier League-proven profile puts him high on the list.
With the summer window approaching, Arsenal’s pursuit is expected to depend on Newcastle’s stance and whether City decide to move, as both clubs weigh up their priorities ahead of another high-stakes campaign.
