Arsenal Are In The Race For This Newcastle United Winger: Dream Choice For Arteta? | OneFootball

In a recent interview, former Everton chief Keith Wyness claimed that Arsenal are in the race for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. Wyness said,

“His performances haven’t been great. He got booed off, I believe, at the weekend when Everton won up there.

“And of course, he wasn’t well received by the Everton fans as well. I think Arsenal may be a very good option for him, but I don’t see him fitting in quite that well into the Arsenal squad as I think he might do in Liverpool.

“So I think it’s still a two-horse race. And I’m not so sure Arsenal are really that keen right now. I think they will wait and see. But no, I think Liverpool, to me, have still got their heads in front.”

Gordon’s Impressive Form In The Premier League

Gordon is having a productive campaign at the Tyneside club as he has put in a lot of impressive displays for them in the final third. The Liverpool-born sensation has banged in 15 goals and earned five assists in 41 matches for Newcastle this season across various competitions.

His current contract at Newcastle will expire in the summer of 2030. Hence, the Gunners would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting Gordon this off-season.

Will Gordon Be A Dream Choice For Arsenal?

Gordon is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make some clever runs with the ball out on the flanks. He has got the vision to create some decent chances in the final third and can shoot the ball with venom from long range.

The English sensation is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also operate as a right-winger or as a centre-forward if required. Gordon has already proven himself in the Premier League and won’t take much time to settle into life at the North London club.

We can expect Gordon to bring more quality and depth to Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta’s attack. He is more than capable of earning a regular first-team spot at the Emirates Stadium.

At 25, Gordon has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a dream choice for the Gunners to consider this summer. He will also help Arsenal challenge for some major honours over the next few years.
