Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon has committed his future to the club by signing a new long-term contract, effectively ending speculation about a potential move to Arsenal or Liverpool during the summer transfer window. Gordon, who joined Newcastle from Everton in January 2023 for £45 million, has become a pivotal figure under manager Eddie Howe, contributing significantly with 15 goals and 11 assists in 74 appearances .
Throughout the summer, both Arsenal and Liverpool were linked with the 23-year-old England international. Liverpool, Gordon’s boyhood club, reportedly engaged in discussions involving a potential £75 million deal, which included a proposed swap involving defender Joe Gomez. However, the deal did not materialize as Newcastle met their financial obligations through other player sales .
Arsenal also expressed interest, but Newcastle’s high valuation of Gordon, reportedly around £75 million, deterred the Gunners from pursuing the transfer further .
By securing Gordon’s services until 2030, Newcastle have not only retained one of their key players but also demonstrated their ambition to compete at the highest levels. Gordon’s decision to stay underscores his commitment to the club’s project and his belief in its direction under the current management.
