Arsenal are reportedly lining up a £75 million move for Anthony Gordon, as Mikel Arteta looks for a game-changing winger.
According to Fichajes, Anthony Gordon remains a key target for Arsenal, who are ready to line up a £75 million move for the winger. Mikel Arteta will look for a left-sided wide attacker in the summer window, with the Newcastle United star considered a key target for his style of play and considerable Premier League experience.
Mikel Arteta will have been happy with the way the club acted in the summer window to strengthen the squad immensely. Arsenal’s depth is being lauded across Europe, as director Andrea Berta was instrumental in signing eight new first-team players, which has made the squad stronger and capable of challenging on multiple fronts.
As per some sections of the fanbase, and even those inside the club, Arsenal may have fallen short when it came to strengthening the left-wing position. Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard occupy those roles, with Arteta able to rotate between them depending on form and what a specific fixture requires.
However, a new player on the left wing appears to be the next order of business for Arteta, who has seen several names being linked. Arsenal are also in the mix for Anthony Gordon, along with Liverpool and others, with the Newcastle United star possessing attributes that would be beneficial to the Gunners.
Gordon’s style of play, his pressing intensity, and his game-changing ability have made him the main man at St James’ Park. Arsenal held internal discussions over Gordon behind the scenes last summer, but preferred to strengthen other areas at the time, and are now ready to focus on the 25-year-old wide man.
Anthony Gordon to Arsenal?
The report states Arsenal are ready to line up a £75 million move for the 25-year-old wide man, although there are doubts as to whether that valuation would be enough to convince Newcastle United. There have been stories stating the Magpies would demand a significantly higher fee to sell their star attacker, and they could use interest from other teams, such as Manchester United and Liverpool, to drive up the price.
Arsenal remain intent on strengthening their left wing next summer, and Gordon is likely to be one of their key targets. The 25-year-old brings vast Premier League experience as well as quality in the final third, meaning the Gunners could face a challenging task in pursuing the Newcastle United star, even if they view him as a key target.
