Ex-Arsenal midfielder Anders Limpar doesn’t believe that his former club can afford Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
The 24-year-old has been tipped for a summer move to the Emirates, but Limpar is not sure if the Gunners will match the player’s price tag:

“Gordon is one of the best players in the Premier League with his pace and everything, and he is already playing for England. But you will have to pay £60 million for him, and I don’t know if Arsenal have that kind of money.”
“But Gordon is a personal favourite of mine, and it is a shame he left Everton, but he has done wonderful at Newcastle.”
Gordon’s asking price is higher than £60m
The Magpies will reportedly demand a fee of around £95m for the England international, although it has been suggested that Arsenal are hoping to pay between £75m and £80m. Buy a Newcastle shirt from JD Sports here.
Other teams, including Manchester United and Liverpool, are also believed to be interested in Gordon, but it appears the Premier League leaders are deemed his likeliest destination if he does leave St James’ Park.
Manager Mikel Arteta is said to be a big fan, having tracked his progress since he first emerged at Everton.
The sharks are circling Newcastle United
Gordon is by no means the only first-team player linked with a move away from the club. Bruno Guimaraes and Malick Thiaw have both been mentioned as potential targets for Man United in recent days. Sandro Tonali is also attracting plenty of interest.
With Eddie Howe’s side currently sitting in 13th place, and with the prospects of securing Champions League qualification rather slim, it seems rivals will look to exploit the situation.
