Arsenal may be facing a great opportunity on the transfer market this summer, after a latest decision from Newcastle.
The summer transfer window was opened, and this was the time for the Gunners to increase the forces to prepare for the Premier League season 2025/26. Although there has not been any deal to the present time, it is likely that Arsenal will start acting after the fiscal year starts from July 1.
One of the positions prioritized by Arsenal is the attack, especially the recruitment of a new striker – the top mission to the list of the new work of sports director Andrea Berta. However, that could not stop rumors about them being able to keep an eye on the winger.
In this context, Newcastle's recent decision can bring an unexpected opportunity for Arsenal.
According to Chronicle Live, Newcastle sent a £ 45 million offer to Nottingham Forest to ask to buy Anthony Elanga Song, but were rejected. Forest values Swedish winger at £ 60 million and does not want him to leave.
If Newcastle continues to pursue Elanga and the successful deal, it could make Anthony Gordon's future question. It should be remembered that only 12 months ago, Gordon had moved very close to moving to Liverpool, and now he can leave Newcastle if Elanga arrives at St James' Park.
Currently, Newcastle has two options for the left wing position: Gordon and Harvey Barnes. While Barnes impressed at the end of the season with 4 goals and 4 assists in March and April, Gordon was silent since the latest goals in the Premier League in January.
If Newcastle is determined to recruit Elanga, then the possibility of Gordon being pushed from the squad is entirely possible – and it is an opportunity for Arsenal to jump in.
If Arsenal really wants to enhance the depth of a fair wing player, Gordon – with the speed, ability to dribble and develop potential – can become an ideal target for the Emirates Stadium this summer.
