Arsenal Told To Pay Big For Newcastle United Winger: Will The Deal Be Possible? | OneFootball

As the season is nearing its end, Arsenal are eyeing UEFA Champions League glory but might fail to win the Premier League title. The Gunners have fought hard this season both domestically and in Europe. However, the Premier League title might still elude them.

With the summer transfer window on the horizon, the Gunners would like to make some good signings and strengthen their team for the upcoming season. Mikel Arteta would like to fight for all titles next season, and hence, the club might display their financial muscle to be successful in their ambitions. Fans will be interested to see what changes Arsenal make in the upcoming transfer window.

Arsenal Are Interested In Anthony Gordon

Football Insider has reported that Arsenal want to sign winger Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United in the summer to solve their issues in the left-wing position. The player has been an integral part of the attacking department of the Magpies and has performed really well with consistent performances under Eddie Howe. His attacking qualities make him a perfect target for Mikel Arteta, who is looking to strengthen his team’s wings.

However, the player has recently signed a contract extension till 2030, and Newcastle United are not ready to let him leave this summer. The Gunners will have to make a big offer to tempt the Magpies into selling him. Arsenal also face competition from their Premier League rivals Liverpool, who eye him amidst the uncertain future of Luis Diaz.

If the Magpies finish in the top four and earn UEFA Champions League qualification, then they will definitely have the financial ability to retain stars like Gordo and would not want to sell him this summer. Arsenal might be in the race only if they offer a substantial transfer fee and wages to Gordon to tempt him to play for a club that are fighting for the Premier League title.

Will the deal be possible?

Anthony Gordon’s potential move to Arsenal seems challenging but not impossible. Newcastle’s firm stance, backed by his long-term contract and their Champions League aspirations, makes a transfer costly and complex. Gordon’s pace, work rate, and versatility would undoubtedly solve problems on Arsenal’s left wing and address a key weakness. However, the Gunners’ need for a prolific striker like Isak might take priority over a winger, given their attacking depth. Gordon is a high-quality talent, but Arsenal should focus on balancing their squad with a clinical forward unless the budget allow for both signings.
