Betfair<\/a>: \u2018Well, it is quite funny because if you believe every rumour, Tino Livramento\u2019s been linked, Lewis Hall\u2019s been linked, Sandro Tonali has been linked, and Bruno has been linked alongside Anthony Gordon.<\/p>\n\u2018I mean, if every player leaves that\u2019s been linked with a move, Newcastle won\u2019t have any players left. It always happens more in the international break.<\/p>\n
\u2018With all the columns, newspapers and with social media now, I guess it\u2019s a lot worse than it perhaps was. I guess, again, because of what\u2019s happened with Newcastle, clubs are going to try and come in and poach them if they don\u2019t qualify for Europe, which clearly doesn\u2019t look like they\u2019re going to unless they go on a remarkable run.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019ll be an interesting summer. I do think that clubs will come in for players and Newcastle will have to stand firm.<\/p>\n
\u2018It seemed a lot of money at the time when Newcastle signed Gordon. But I guess you\u2019d have to start, if you\u2019re talking about an England international forward who\u2019s got a really good chance of starting for England, then you\u2019d have to probably get over \u00a3100 million to have a chance of signing Gordon.\u2019<\/p>\n
Would Gordon be a good signing for Arsenal?<\/strong><\/p>\nFrom a tactical standpoint, Gordon would fit seamlessly into Arsenal\u2019s system. His pace, direct running, and pressing intensity align closely with Arteta\u2019s demands for wide forwards. He could provide genuine competition\u2014and possibly an upgrade in certain areas\u2014to existing options on the left flank.<\/p>\n
Perhaps most importantly, Gordon offers versatility. He has shown he can operate centrally when required, which would give Arsenal additional depth in attacking positions, especially during a congested fixture schedule.<\/p>\n
However, the price tag is the key issue. At \u00a3100 million, expectations would be enormous. While Gordon has shown flashes of elite quality, he is not yet consistently delivering at the level typically associated with such a fee. Arsenal would need to be convinced that his ceiling justifies the investment.<\/p>\n
There is also the question of squad balance. ARSENAL<\/strong><\/em>already possess strong wide options, and allocating such a significant portion of their budget to one position could limit reinforcements elsewhere<\/p>\nMORE ARSENAL NEWS AND GOSSIP \u2013 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nLatest: Arsenal \u2018will break record\u2019 and hand elite star \u2018substantial wage package\u2019 to complete MEGA signing<\/strong><\/p>\nMost Read:\u00a0Arteta to get his \u00a370M signing: Arsenal IN TALKS to sign target Mikel Really wants!<\/p>\n
