Arsenal continue to explore options to strengthen their squad ahead of the next transfer window, and several Newcastle United players are reportedly on their radar. Among those being monitored, Anthony Gordon has emerged as the most admired by the North London club.
Arsenal have shown interest in Newcastle talents in the past, including Bruno Guimaraes and, more recently, Alexander Isak. However, financial considerations are believed to be a significant factor, with both players appearing too costly for Arsenal to realistically pursue at this time. As a result, the club may be forced to explore more affordable alternatives that can still bring quality and depth to the Emirates.
While Gordon is unlikely to come cheaply, Football Insider reports that Arsenal’s interest in the winger is intensifying. The club reportedly view him as the standout candidate among Newcastle’s current crop of stars, and discussions may soon be initiated to explore the feasibility of a transfer.
Andrea Berta, who has been tasked with overseeing the improvement of Arsenal’s squad, is expected to lead these negotiations. His responsibilities also include pursuing other targets, including Nico Williams. However, with Williams proving difficult to convince over a move to the Premier League, the urgency surrounding Gordon’s potential acquisition has grown.
Arsenal are now preparing to approach Newcastle United regarding Gordon’s availability. Despite this growing interest, there is no expectation that negotiations will be straightforward. Newcastle are financially robust and under no pressure to sell key players. Gordon is regarded as one of the Premier League’s most promising wingers and remains an integral part of their plans moving forward.
Should Arsenal succeed in bringing him to the Emirates, it would represent a significant coup. Gordon’s pace, creativity, and work rate would undoubtedly enhance the Gunners’ attacking options. However, his value to Newcastle means the club are likely to stand firm unless presented with a compelling offer.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

Howe and Isak could also ….
Best way to deal Isak obsession, just pay the money.
As for Gordon he’s still a little too raw for this project, so I can’t give him the nod
I remain convinced that the Newcastle star would cost too much money. Not worth the risk.
We would be better off finding a cheaper alternative. And why should we spend 120M on Issack when we could sign either Sesko, Gyokores or Osimhen for just over 60M.
Bonkers!
We need to remember we are not Chelski – known for spending an arm and a leg on average players.
Kai 65M
Fabio 35M
Gab J 45M
Calaufori 40M+
Jorginho 12M
Lokonga 17M
Timber 38M+
So what’s your point? Sambi and Vieira are the two weak signings but wasn’t Jorginho worth £12m? Hasn’t Havertz been an integral part of the team? Is Timber looking like a waste of money?
Instead of only concentrating on what you see as negatives why not look at our club stability, still second in the league after a season full of long term injuries, and later facing a legendary club team in the later stages of the CL?
It doesn’t suit his agenda SueP.
I’m a supporter of AFC – Arsenal Football Club and not Arteta Fan Club.
Jorgi with 6 months left to go and we signed him for 12M, people with finance background will know this was an amount flushed down the drain.
Kai was a replacement for Xhaka and ended up as CF due to injuries to the other blue eyed boy of the manager. Compare his stats with 63M rated Isak, and difference is chalk and cheese. With such attitudes of some fans, the club is happy not to win anything.
I said we are winning the QFs, I did compliment the gaffer and his lads, that was for one game. I will compliment him once again tonight.
As for stability, if it wins me a big fat zero, it hardly matters. Even the worst ManU team in my memory won the FA last year, EFL cup in 2023 while we are chasing “stability” and/or “phase 5 or 6 or 7”
If you choose to be happy without silverware, with square pegs and mediocrity, I am a nobody to debate you. I choose what’s best for my company, my family, myself and that should be the norm for my passion -AFC.
Anthony Gordon must be prioritized, ahead of Isak. He’s a player more suited to Arsenal than the striker.
The Dordmund (BVB) striker is better suited to Arsenal than Isak, who will force adjustments in the team.
