As the summer transfer window approaches, several Premier League giants, namely Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea, are considering reviving their interest in Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, according to Caught Offside sources.

The 24-year-old has become one of the most sought-after young talents in England following a strong season with the Magpies, prompting speculation about a potential high-profile move.

Chelsea had previously pushed hard to secure Gordon’s services during Thomas Tuchel’s tenure.

The Blues were believed to be close to finalising a deal, but Newcastle swooped in to sign the former Everton winger, shutting down Chelsea’s advances.

Despite that missed opportunity, the West London club may return to the table, although Newcastle’s current valuation of Gordon, in the range of €85–€90 million, could prove to be a stumbling block for any suitors.

Anthony Gordon could start a transfer battle

Arsenal, meanwhile, are actively searching for attacking reinforcements, with particular focus on adding quality depth to the wings.

Mikel Arteta’s side have closely monitored Gordon’s development, and with Newcastle facing financial uncertainty due to potential concerns around Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), a door may open for negotiations.

However, Arsenal’s recruitment team is assessing whether such a high price tag would make sense for them at this point.

Liverpool are also keeping tabs on Gordon’s situation. The Reds are familiar with his quality and admire his direct playing style, but any potential approach will be measured.

Gordon is said to be content at St. James’ Park and is focused on cementing his place in England squad for upcoming international competitions.

His satisfaction at Newcastle could reduce the likelihood of a summer departure, unless financial pressures force the club’s hand.

While Newcastle have publicly maintained that they want to keep Gordon “at all costs,” behind the scenes, there is a recognition that a major sale may be necessary if budgetary constraints tighten.

Should the club be pushed into making a significant outgoing transfer, Gordon would undoubtedly be one of the most marketable and high-value assets available in the Premier League.

If they can retain stability without selling, Gordon stays. If not, a bidding war could ensue.

  1. Arsenal have already started to make mistake because the first player they should go for is a free agent in the person of Jonathan David before looking were they will spend money to buy if Arsenal can get him and Victor Gyokere upfront then they can go to other areas for additional players what we need most is strikers at least Jonathan David and Victor Gyokere will solve the scoring issues to a great time our midfield just one more person since Martin Zubimendi is coming and we are retaining Thomas Pattey then the wingers and a goalkeeper we are not offloading much of our proven players we are integrating more of our academies I feel we will be able to make a lot of progress in the next season and no one should put pressure on Mikel Arteta if we can be honest to ourselves there is a lot of gang up against him I think we read when Tottnham coach said he was instructed to loose to Man City so that Arsenal will not win the premiership and FA have kept deaf ears though under normal circumstances Man City can win but when it comes to instructions it is supposed to be probed what are we saying the FA are behind everything together with Howard Web and the var because the VAR are not different from the referees they are partners in crime they are rubbing Paul to pay Peter my question when will the men behind the FA change their ways

  2. Does it make sense to sell Martinelli and then buy Gordon? Gordon like him wasn’t fantastic this campaign.
    Bring in Gyokeres first. that’s who we need after Zubimendi.

  3. Newcastle don’t need to sell anyone and are in a great position financially with PSR. They can potentially spend upwards of £150m this summer and are only getting stronger and stronger.
    There’s absolutely no chance any of the top players are leaving there this summer.
