Newcastle Plan to Accept Big Anthony Gordon Offer

Newcastle United are reportedly prepared to accept a substantial offer for star winger Anthony Gordon in the summer transfer window, marking a major shift in their squad planning ahead of the 2026/27 season[1][2].

According to insiders, Newcastle's senior figures aim to upgrade their attacking options, seeking more consistent goals and assists from wide areas to fuel top-table ambitions. Gordon, 24, has had a mixed 2025/26 campaign. In the Premier League, he has managed just 2 goals and 1 assist in 17 appearances, contributing to Newcastle's 8th-place standing and unfulfilled European hopes domestically[1][2].

Contrastingly, Gordon shone in the UEFA Champions League group stage, netting 5 goals and 1 assist in 6 matches, becoming Newcastle's continental standout[1][2]. Despite this, club leadership views him as not the long-term solution for their evolving attack.

Interest in Gordon is rife among Premier League rivals. Liverpool have tracked him extensively, drawn by his city ties and prior scouting admiration. Arsenal, under Mikel Arteta, covet his pace, pressing, and transitional threat—qualities eyed since his Everton days. Arsenal see him as a priority to bolster wings amid concerns over depth behind Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, with Leandro Trossard's age a factor[1][2][3][4].

Newcastle would demand a big fee given Gordon's age, homegrown status, England international pedigree, and European form. While key to their squad, financial pressures or player ambition could force a sale. Potential replacements like versatile forwards are on their radar to maintain attacking prowess[1][2][6].
