“Arsenal surpasses Liverpool and Man Utd in the race for Newcastle star.”

Arsenal is standing out in the race for one of the most sought-after players in the transfer market: Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. With rumors circulating about a possible transfer, the London club appears to have the upper hand over Liverpool and Manchester United in the battle for this promising talent, whose market value is estimated at an impressive £95 million.

Gordon, who made his move from Everton to Newcastle for £45 million in the January 2023 transfer window, has quickly become a key player for the team, contributing to their victory in the Carabao Cup last season. In 144 appearances for the Magpies, the 25-year-old has amassed 36 goals and 28 assists, attracting attention from giants like Liverpool. Despite his connection to Everton, Gordon has stated that he is happy at St James’ Park, but his loyalty may be tested next summer.

According to reports, Arsenal is willing to make a £75 million offer for Gordon, putting them ahead in the race, while Liverpool and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation. The young talent, who has represented the England national team on 16 occasions, could see his career soar if he decides to move to London. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is a long-time admirer of Gordon and believes he could perform well even as a forward, although Newcastle is demanding a higher fee.

The Gunners are determined to strengthen their left flank, and the arrival of Gordon could signal the departure of Gabriel Martinelli, whose future at the club is becoming uncertain. It is important to note that, despite Newcastle reiterating that Gordon is not for sale, rivals believe that a substantial offer could change this stance.

Although Gordon has shown moments of inconsistency, many believe that playing alongside elite players and competing for titles could elevate his game. Currently, Arsenal leads the Premier League and dreams of achieving a historic quadruple this season, with Arteta guiding the club to the Carabao Cup final, while also progressing in the FA Cup and the Champions League.

However, Gordon’s future is not the only open question for Arsenal. The club is facing a potential overhaul of the squad, with Christian Norgaard considering his exit after not starting any games in the Premier League this season, and Ben White expressing a desire for more playing time, amid rumors of interest from Barcelona.

The summer transfer window promises to be busy for the Gunners, and Gordon’s situation will be just one of many pieces of the puzzle that Arteta will need to solve as the club prepares to continue its rise in English and European football.
