Anthony Gordon is the latest Newcastle United player linked with a potential move, alongside Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento. Reports claim Arsenal could target Gordon this summer in a deal worth around £75m, despite the forward signing a long-term extension in October 2024.
Liverpool previously explored a move during Newcastle’s 2024 PSR concerns, but talks collapsed when the Magpies requested Jarell Quansah in exchange. Gordon later reaffirmed his commitment to the club.
Gordon is reportedly on the radar of Liverpool as they consider a move for the England international to address their issues on the left wing.
Newcastle, who face Barcelona in the Champions League round of 16, have won four of their last five matches in all competitions. However, domestic form has dipped, with just one win in their last six league games following a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City.
They now host Everton and then Manchester United at St James’ Park. Newcastle United sold Alexander Isak to Liverpool for a British-record £125m last summer after the striker went on strike, and head coach Eddie Howe was asked how he could prevent a similar situation arising again.
Speaking ahead of Newcastle’s game against Everton, Howe said: “I’m not sure there’s a lot I can do about that. I’ve not seen the story, so it’s news to me.
“But we’re mid-season, we’re in the middle of some of the biggest games of his career, and who knows what’s going to happen internationally with Anthony in the summer as well.
“He’s not got time to look left or right. He’s got to be fully focused on straight ahead and the next game, and trying to be as good as he can be.”
“It’s your industry that is creating those stories,” he added. “I’m slightly secluded from it. If you don’t read it you don’t know who has been linked to who.
“Is it not just part of modern day football that everyone is just linked with moves these days, not just Newcastle players, but potentially a lot of other clubs have the same issues.
“It’s irrelevant really. It’s how the players react to that. If they absorb it and it affects them, then, that’s a negative. But I think our players are robust enough to ignore it.”
