Newcastle United have reportedly set their asking price for Anthony Gordon as they prepare for a bidding war from Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool this summer.

Gordon has enjoyed a mixed season for Eddie Howe’s side, scoring only three Premier League goals this season, but firing on in cyclinders in the Champions League.

Four goals in the first leg of Newcastle’s play-off tie with Qarabag brought his tally to ten in as many games in Europe for his club this season.

And that sensational form on the continent appears to have caught the attention of several English clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

Liverpool were linked with a move for Gordon in previous summers, while Arsenal have also been credited with interest in the 25-year-old, who joined Newcastle from Everton for £45million in January 2023.

Manchester United are also reported to be monitoring the England international as they look to bring in a high-quality natural left winger to bolster their attacking options further.

But, according to The Sun, it is the league leaders Arsenal who are currently leading the race to sign Gordon, a player who Mikel Arteta has long coveted.

Left wing is a position that the Gunners contemplated strengthening last summer, and could revisit in the summer. Gordon predominantly plays off the flank, but has shown his versatility and led the line for Newcastle in recent weeks.

Despite signing improved terms before the start of the season, Leandro Trossard is only under contract until June 2027, while Gabriel Martinelli’s future could come under doubt also after repeated interest from clubs abroad.

However, signing Gordon will not come cheap, with the report adding that Newcastle have set a £95m asking price for Arsenal or any other club looking to sign the forward in the summer.
