Newcastle have strengthened their position regarding Anthony Gordon’s future, with his contract running until 2030 rather than the widely reported 2028 expiry date. The revelation comes as Arsenal reportedly prepare a £75m summer bid for the forward. According to Skysports.com.
Gordon’s Extended Newcastle Deal Provides Security Against Arsenal’s £75m Interest
Sky Sports News can exclusively reveal that Gordon’s contract extends until 2030, when the forward will be 29 years old. The 25-year-old signed a long-term extension in October 2024, securing four years remaining on his current deal with Newcastle.
Arsenal are reportedly targeting Gordon for the summer transfer window, hoping to secure his services for £75m. The speculation has intensified despite Newcastle’s contractual security, with reports suggesting the Gunners view him as a key addition to their attacking options.
Manager Eddie Howe addressed the transfer speculation ahead of Newcastle’s fixture against Everton, emphasising the need for focus. He stated that rumour and speculation comes with being a top player, noting that players must put distractions out of their brain to concentrate on football.
Gordon has previously acknowledged that transfer speculation has affected his performance in the past. Speaking in February, he admitted to underperforming when looking too far into the future, vowing not to repeat those mistakes while maintaining focus on current responsibilities.
The forward’s Premier League statistics this season show one goal from open play, raising questions about his £75m valuation. His contributions have been more significant in cup competitions, though predominantly against lesser opposition than Arsenal would typically face.
