"Arsenal are leading the chase to sign Anthony Gordon. The report claims that Liverpool and Manchester United are both interested in the Newcastle star, but Arsenal believe he would be happy to snub the north and move down south to London. Newcastle United are said to have slapped a £95 million price tag on Gordon, who has scored just three Premier League goals all season, but Berta is not going to match those demands."
"Mikel Arteta is reportedly a big admirer of Gordon and likes his versatility. The England international can play on either wing and has also been deployed as a striker recently. Gordon checks a lot of boxes that Arteta looks for in a winger. The Newcastle United man is quick, can dribble past players, can score goals and has Premier League experience."
Arsenal are actively pursuing Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United as a summer transfer target to strengthen their left wing position. Despite competition from Liverpool and Manchester United, Arsenal believe Gordon would prefer a move to London. Newcastle values Gordon at £95 million, but Arsenal aims to negotiate a deal between £75-80 million. Manager Mikel Arteta admires Gordon's versatility, as the England international can play across both wings and as a striker. Gordon possesses the qualities Arteta seeks: pace, dribbling ability, goal-scoring capability, Premier League experience, and strong work rate defensively. Arsenal currently have Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard at left wing, but the position remains their squad's weakest area.
