Anthony Gordon has a strong possibility of leaving Newcastle United this summer, amid links to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
Andrea Berta wants to sign another attacker in the summer, and the England international is one of the players on the Gunners’ list.
Sum up how you’d feel if Anthony Gordon signed for Arsenal
Arteta is a big fan of Gordon, and it’s clear that the Spanish coach is keen for his team to add more Premier League experience.
Fabrizio Romano has now been speaking about the situation involving Gordon after Bayern Munich joined the race for him.
Newcastle could sell Anthony Gordon this summer
Newcastle United could sell Anthony Gordon for big money this summer, according to Romano, which is great news for Mikel Arteta.
The Italian journalist claims that the Tyneside club must make at least one sale for financial fair play, and the 25-year-old is being targeted by several clubs.
Bayern are now in the race for the winger, but there is also interest from the Premier League, with Arsenal definitely involved.
Romano told his YouTube channel: “According to my info, there is a possibility Newcastle will sell one or two top players in this summer transfer window. It’s about financial fair play.
“Could be one, could be two, based on opportunities, based on proposals, based on what players want to do.
“So Anthony Gordon has chances to leave Newcastle in the summer transfer window. There is a lot of interest also in Sandro Tonali. Let’s see what happens with Bruno Gumirries.
“I’m not saying that Newcastle are going to sell all these players. That’s not the case. Newcastle will try to keep as many as possible.
“But at the moment, there is a possibility Anthony Gordon could be on his way out of Newcastle in case of a big proposal.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. Who is your top target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window?
“Many questions on Bayern. There are several clubs also interested in the Premier League. I would not underestimate Premier League clubs in this race for Anthony Gordon.
“In case there is a door open to his exit in the summer, Bayern are looking at wingers on the market. That’s not new. We know Yan Diomande now links with Anthony Gordon. There will be more for sure because Bayern are looking at wingers.
“But at the moment, what I’m told is that it’s still early with several clubs involved with the first round of discussions around Anthony Gordon, interest also from the Premier League, not only from Germany or other countries. So let’s wait and see.”
Gordon is expected to be valued at £100m, which would make the North London club crazy to move for him at that price.
Arsenal must not sell Ethan Nwaneri to fund Anthony Gordon
One thing Arsenal must avoid doing this summer is selling Ethan Nwaneri to fund their move for Gordon.
Nwaneri could be sold by Arsenal in the next transfer window, with the teenager falling out of favour under Arteta.
Many Arsenal fans are not keen on Gordon, although it seems as though the Gunners are intent on landing him.
Therefore, selling a Hale End star to sign a player the Gunners’ supporters are not keen on would be a very risky move from the manager.
