Arsenal have reportedly moved ahead of Liverpool and Manchester United in the pursuit of Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, with the Gunners viewing the 25-year-old England international as a priority target for the summer 2026 transfer window.
According to The Sun, Arsenal believe Gordon would be open to a move to the Emirates Stadium and are hopeful of securing his signature for a fee in the region of £75 million as they seek to bolster their attacking options under Mikel Arteta.

Gordon has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic wide forwards since his £45 million move from Everton to Newcastle in January 2023. During the 2025–26 campaign, he has contributed 15 goals and 5 assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, showcasing his trademark pace, direct running and markedly improved finishing.
His reputation has also soared on the European stage. Gordon became only the 18th player in Champions League history to score four goals in a single away knockout-phase play-off match, achieving the feat against Qarabağ FK earlier this season.

The reported £75 million valuation is considered significantly lower than Newcastle’s usual asking price for key assets, potentially opening the door for negotiations if Arsenal make an early and concrete approach.

Why Gordon Fits Arsenal’s Strategy Arsenal’s interest aligns with their recent transfer policy of targeting proven Premier League performers who can make an immediate impact and adapt quickly to Arteta’s high-intensity system. Gordon’s versatility (able to play left wing, right wing or as a forward), pressing intensity and goal threat make him an ideal candidate to challenge or rotate with Gabriel Martinelli and other wide options.
No formal bid has been submitted yet, but sources indicate Arsenal are actively monitoring the situation and could move decisively in the summer window.
