Anthony Gordon “advantage”

Arsenal reportedly have a “huge advantage” in the race to sign Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon this summer amid significant competition from multiple top European clubs.

Liverpool and Manchester United are both known admirers of the 25-year-old, while recent reports in Germany have confirmed that Bayern Munich are also interested in completing a summer deal as they look to sign a player capable of challenging Luis Diaz for a place in Vincent Kompany’s starting XI.

However, Arsenal are currently deemed to be the frontrunners for Gordon’s signature.

Mikel Arteta’s side are set to submit an official bid for Gordon this summer, as exclusively revealed by FootballTransfers" href="https://www.footballtransfers.com/en/transfer-news/uk-premier-league/2026/04/exclusive-arsenal-ready-anthony-gordon-bid-as-arteta-targets-english-core" target="_blank">as exclusively revealed by FootballTransfers, with the club keen to build their squad around a core of talented English players.

Eddie Howe comments on Anthony Gordon speculation

Meanwhile, Eddie Howe has confirmed that he will not select Gordon for Newcastle’s remaining fixtures if he believes the England international’s head has been turned by interest from Arsenal.

“I’m not going to play a player, any player, if I don’t feel they’re 100% committed to the club and to its future,” he told the media on Friday.

“Because that commitment, that resolve, what a player gives the team, has to be total.”

Much will be revealed about Gordon’s future by Howe’s starting XI for the weekend’s match. If the winger is not in the team, it will be another major hint that there is a serious prospect of him leaving at the end of the campaign.

Andrea Cambiaso wanted

Arsenal have “set their sights” on completing a deal for Juventus full-back Andrea Cambiaso ahead of the upcoming summer window.

That is according to TuttoJuve" href="https://www.tuttojuve.com/calciomercato/arsenal-su-cambiaso-774762" target="_blank">TuttoJuve, who report that negotiations are currently in a preliminary stage as Mikel Arteta’s side look to strengthen their defensive options this summer amid rumours that Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly could both be sold.

Cambiaso is reportedly valued at €60m by the Serie A giants, but a sale could be permitted if they fail to secure Champions League qualification for next season.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are currently willing to offer a fee of €40m for the 26-year-old, whose current contract at Juve is set to expire in 2029.

Gabriel Jesus asking price

Arsenal will demand a fee of €30m to sell Gabriel Jesus this summer, according to Brazilian outlet A Critica" href="https://www.acritica.com/trends/palmeiras-pode-pagar-r-176-milhoes-para-repatriar-atacante-que-esta-em-baixa-na-europa/" target="_blank">A Critica.

The forward reportedly wants to extend his spell at the Emirates Stadium beyond his current contract, which is due to expire in 2027, but it’s understood that Arsenal are ready to sanction a sale.

Jesus is behind Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz in the pecking order, while a departure would help the Gunners in their bid to secure a deal for the aforementioned Gordon.

Oscar Mingueza to join?

Arsenal are likely to play with much more attack-minded full-backs next season, if their interest in Celta Vigo star Oscar Mingueza is anything to go by.

The Gunners are the latest club to show a strong interest in the Spain international, who will be available on a free transfer this summer. Mingueza, a product of Barcelona's La Masia academy, has been linked with a Premier League move for years.

Aston Villa are one club that have been repeatedly associated with the 26-year-old. However, The Telegraph reports that they will face competition from the Premier League leaders.
