Tino Livramento continues to be linked with a move from Newcastle United – but a switch to Arsenal may not be forthcoming after all.
Indeed, Arsenal have been linked with Livramento, who will have two years left on his contract by the end of the season.
Hard choice – but who are you selling if you were in charge? 🤔

There have so far been no updates on a new deal, meaning Newcastle United are in a difficult position.
This summer, Newcastle are expected to make a major sale and Livramento has been tipped as an option alongside the likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon.
Still, Arsenal might be wary of the defender’s troublesome injury record.
Livramento’s injury record could scupper Arsenal move
According to BBC Sport, the Gunners are interested in all of Gordon, Tonali and Livramento.
In fact, it’s added that they seriously looked at signing Gordon during the summer of 2024.

How many games Tino Livramento has missed through injury
Livramento is undoubtedly a brilliant defender, but this season has been a poor season by his standards.
Part of that is down to injury. He has missed 31 games since the start of the campaign.
In Livramento’s defence, he had only missed nine games until this season since joining Newcastle in 2023.

He did, however, suffer a serious knee injury while playing for Southampton in 2022 – which ruled him out of 51 games.
In total, Livramento has missed 95 games through injury throughout his career at senior level.
Both Manchester United and Manchester City have also been linked with a move for Livramento, who would still be a big miss on Tyneside despite a difficult campaign.
