Anthony Gordon is reportedly open to a move away from Newcastle this summer with Liverpool and Arsenal considering a big-money transfer swoop.
The 25-year-old Gordon has been linked with a move to the Anfield giants and the Gunners in past transfer windows, while German heavyweights Bayern Munich have also emerged as potential contenders. Earlier this week, it was suggested Bayern are preparing a £55 million offer.
However, Newcastle would demand significantly more for the England international, who is keen to have his future sorted before the World Cup kicks off in June. The Telegraph reports that although Gordon hasn't formally expressed a desire to leave Newcastle, sources suggest he'll be looking for a new club during the summer transfer window.

Arsenal are believed to have a long-standing interest in the winger, who they've discussed in recruitment meetings. Liverpool could potentially reignite their interest after nearly securing Gordon's signature in 2024, just before he committed to a new long-term contract with Newcastle.
It's further reported that despite being a product of Everton's academy, he'd seize the opportunity to join their local rivals, as he was a boyhood fan of the Reds.
The top brass at St James' Park are gearing up for bids when the window opens - and not just for Gordon. Key players such as Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall have all been linked with other Premier League outfits.
Newcastle lost star striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool last summer and they've suffered the consequences following a protracted transfer saga. Eddie Howe's side have tumbled to 14th in the table with six matches left and are unlikely to secure European football as they have managed in the previous three campaigns.

Gordon has remained a shining light for the Magpies, netting 17 goals and contributing five assists. Ten of those strikes arrived in the Champions League, with the former Everton ace proving his worth in Europe's premier competition.
Arsenal brought in three attackers last summer but may restructure their front line once more this year. Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have each been rumoured to depart the Emirates to help finance fresh recruits.

Gordon isn't the sole forward on Arsenal's radar, though. The Gunners have been connected with Paris Saint-Germain sensation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez in what could prove another substantial summer of investment.
Much may hinge on how this season concludes, with Liverpool in danger of failing to secure Champions League qualification. Arsenal and Bayern, conversely, could clash in this year's final and claim their respective domestic league crowns.
