Newcastle United are “prepared” to sell Arsenal transfer target Anthony Gordon for £75m this summer, according to reports.

The Times claim that the Magpies need to offlad players in order to “refresh their ageing squad”, and Gordon is one of the main candidates to be sold.
However, the Gunners are not the frontrunners for Gordon at the moment, with Bayern Munich deemed the “clear favourites” ahead of Mikel Arteta’s side and Liverpool.
The Bundesliga champions are big fans of the player, and they are keen to recruit another forward from the Premier League after the successful signings of Michael Olise and Luis Diaz over the last two summers.
Arsenal may still have a chance of signing the player
Despite Bayern being the leading contenders, there are doubts over whether they will get close to matching Newcastle’s price tag.
It is believed that there is currently a £20m gap between the two teams’ valuations, with Bayern hoping to sign Gordon for around £55m.
Newcastle are tough negotiators, as evidenced by the £125m they received from Liverpool for Alexander Isak, and they are expected to stand firm on their demands. That could allow Arsenal back into the race for Gordon’s signature.

Who could Gordon replace in the first-team squad?
Gabriel Martinelli is one of five players that the club are expected to sell at the end of the season. The Brazilian has struggled with consistency in recent seasons, and a departure abroad is expected.
It’s likely that any approach for Gordon would be dependent on the Gunners receiving a substantial fee for Martinelli over the coming months.
Sporting director Andrea Berta does not have a sizeable transfer kitty, with sales required to fund incomings this summer.
