Newcastle set huge price tag for star player as Arsenal face Liverpool battle | OneFootball

Anthony Gordon has become one of the most valuable players at Newcastle United. The former Everton star is in the form of his life and has been instrumental in Eddie Howe’s setup this season. Naturally, his performances have caught the attention of top Premier League clubs.

According to Football Insider, Arsenal are keen to sign the English winger. Mikel Arteta is looking to add more firepower on the left flank, and Gordon is on his list of top targets. However, Newcastle are not ready to part ways with one of their brightest attacking talents unless a massive offer comes in.

Anthony Gordon signed a new long-term contract at St James’ Park until 2030, showing his commitment to the Newcastle project. He is viewed as untouchable by manager Eddie Howe, who considers him a key part of the club’s ambitions.

Even though there is pressure on Newcastle to comply with Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, Football Insider reports that the club are still determined to keep Gordon. They will only consider selling if a club submits a bid in excess of £100 million.

Arsenal are not the only club interested. Liverpool are also monitoring Gordon’s situation closely. Jurgen Klopp’s side admire the winger’s pace, directness, and work rate—attributes that fit perfectly into Liverpool’s high-octane system. A bidding war could be on the horizon.

But Newcastle are firm in their stance. They will not be bullied into selling unless it becomes financially impossible to retain him. With Champions League qualification still a possibility, the Magpies believe they can keep hold of Gordon and build a stronger squad around him.

Despite their growing interest, Arsenal will find it difficult to match Newcastle’s demands. The Gunners are willing to increase Gordon’s wages if a move happens, but Newcastle are under no pressure to sell.

The club has already shown with players like Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak that they are building a squad for the future. Gordon is an essential part of that core, and Eddie Howe wants to continue developing him at St James’ Park.
