Arsenal Pursues Anthony Gordon from Newcastle

Arsenal has shown interest in signing Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United, although a transfer before the close of the summer window seems unlikely as he is in talks for a new contract with Newcastle. The 23-year-old winger has impressed since joining Newcastle for £45 million, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists last season, which has also earned him a spot in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the upcoming European Championships. While Arsenal's sporting director Edu Gaspar admires Gordon and sees him as a potential target for next summer, Gordon appears content at Newcastle and is keen to remain. Additionally, Liverpool had previously expressed interest in Gordon, but their focus has shifted to Juventus forward Federico Chiesa as the transfer deadline approaches. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has stated that Gordon is in good form and has downplayed the impact of transfer speculation on the player. With the summer transfer window closing soon, both Arsenal and Liverpool continue to explore other options.
