London's Arsenal, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta, is already planning summer reinforcements.
Details: According to The Sun, the Gunners have made Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon their primary target. Right now, Arsenal leads the race for the player, pulling ahead of major rivals such as Manchester United and Liverpool.
However, reports indicate that negotiations for Gordon promise to be complicated from a financial standpoint. Although the winger's current contract with the Magpies runs until 2029, Newcastle is open to offers in the region of £95 million.
The source also notes that Arsenal hopes to drive the price down and complete the deal in the £75–80 million range. Since his move from Everton in 2023, Gordon has made over 100 appearances for Newcastle, establishing himself as one of the league's most dangerous wide men.
Notably, this season the player has featured in 39 matches for Newcastle across all competitions, scoring 14 goals and providing 5 assists. Transfermarkt values him at €60 million.
Reminder: Manchester United defender Luke Shaw was forced to leave the pitch early in the match against Crystal Palace due to injury.
