Reports have been circulating about Anthony Gordon's potential transfer to Liverpool earlier in the window, but it seems that Arsenal is now in the mix. However, there's a catch - Gordon is currently in contract talks with Newcastle United, making any potential transfer tricky.
According to sources at the Daily Mail, Arsenal's sporting director Edu Gaspar is a huge admirer of the England international and the club is eager to bring in a new winger. But with Gordon's contract negotiations at Newcastle, it looks like the Gunners will have to wait until next year to make their move.
Gordon has been making waves at Newcastle since joining from Everton in a record-breaking £40m deal in January 2023. Last season, the 23-year-old impressed everyone with 11 goals and 10 assists in 35 Premier League games under manager Eddie Howe.
It's no surprise that Gordon has caught the eye of top clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal. However, it was unexpected to see him linked to Liverpool, considering his strong ties to their Merseyside rivals, Everton.
In a recent interview, Howe was asked about the possibility of Gordon leaving Newcastle, to which he replied, "I have been in the game too long to make those statements. What I can say is that the club and I will do everything in our power to keep our best players. But I cannot predict the future."
Gordon is not the only winger on Arsenal's radar, as they are also considering a late move for Raheem Sterling. Unlike Gordon, the Gunners are looking to seal the deal before the transfer window closes on Friday at 11pm.
Sterling, who has been out of favor at Chelsea, is reportedly interested in joining Arsenal. Manager Mikel Arteta is a big fan of the player and believes he would be a positive influence in the dressing room. However, if the deal falls through, the Gunners are also keeping an eye on Bayern Munich's Kingsley Coman as an alternative option.
