Arsenal have expressed an interest in Anthony Gordon but the winger is set to stay at Newcastle beyond Friday’s deadline, with preliminary talks over a new contract having opened.
We understand Gunners sporting director Edu is a big admirer of the 23-year-old, who features on a list of players identified as future targets, and they could make an approach next summer.
Gordon is happy at Newcastle, loves working with Eddie Howe and he and his young family are settled in the North-East. Discussions over an improved contract as reward for last season’s brilliant form have now started.
