Gordon has only gone from strength to strength since joining the Magpies from Everton at the start of 2023. He has established himself as one of the mainstays at the Tyneside club, and his consistent performances have attracted a lot of interest.

Anthony Gordon finds himself on Arsenal’s wishlist

While Newcastle haven’t been at their best this season, Gordon has certainly done his bit. In his 38 outings across competitions, the left winger has contributed towards 19 goals (15 goals, four assists).

He prefers playing out wide on the left, but has even been deployed in the number nine role. He has done a great job across the front line, and his versatility is one of the reasons rival clubs want to sign him.

With his contract running until 2029, the Magpies will be in the driving seat during negotiations. However, that won’t deter interested clubs. Arsenal are believed to be the most serious suitors. With Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli’s future uncertain, they are looking at Gordon as an ideal upgrade on the left flank.
