Anthony Gordon has been heavily linked with a move away from Newcastle United ahead of the summer transfer window.
Anthony Gordon has enjoyed an impressive 2025/26 campaign, and he has been linked towith multiple top clubs in recent weeks. It will be interesting to see if the player is sold during the summer transfer window.
Newcastle United have struggled in the final third this season, and summer signings Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa have combined to score just eight goals in the Premier League thus far despite heavy spending on transfer fee for those players.
The Magpies have been overly dependent on Gordon in the final third. The England international has 22 goal contributions thus far in the 2025/26 campaign. Selling him could prove to be a mistake for Newcastle United, although their hands may be tied.
However, the player has been benched in the last two matches, which has further fuelled speculation about his future. When asked about his decision to drop the player, Eddie Howe said Gordon has only just returned from injury and that the team is playing well. Therefore, he decided not to make any changes.
Howe said, “Obviously, he’s returned from an injury. I’m looking at the team, and I’ve been pleased with how the team’s performed the last three games, so I haven’t had to make changes.”
Gordon tipped to move on
Meanwhile, former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara believes the player could be on his way out of the club, and the Newcastle United manager’s decision to bench him in the last two matches suggests he wants to get rid of him.
O’Hara said on Sky Sports, “It tells me he’s leaving, if Howe isn’t playing him. I like Gordon, he’s a player they need, but for whatever reason, it hasn’t gone to plan. If Howe isn’t playing him at this stage of the season, it suggests he’s going to get rid of him.”
There is unlikely to be a shortage of clubs interested in signing Gordon in the summer. He has been linked with Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea over the last few months.
The 25-year-old Englishman will look to join a big club where he can fight for major trophies. There is no doubt Gordon has the quality to compete at a higher level, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
