Newcastle United are prepared to make Anthony Gordon available for transfer this summer, according to a trusted source on X. The 24-year-old winger has struggled to match last season’s domestic output, with modest Premier League numbers despite standout Champions League performances. Senior figures at the club are said to want a more reliable attacking contribution, and interest from Liverpool and Arsenal is expected if he is placed on the market.
Newcastle willing to listen to offers for Gordon after mixed 2025-26 season
Newcastle United are prepared to make Anthony Gordon available for transfer this summer, according to a trusted source on X. The report describes a change in the club’s longer-term planning, with senior figures said to be seeking an upgrade in attacking output before the 2026-27 campaign, particularly in goals and assists from wide areas.
Gordon’s 2025-26 season has differed sharply between competitions. In the Premier League, the 24-year-old has struggled to reproduce the form he showed the previous year, recording two goals and one assist in 17 appearances. The report adds that Newcastle have been inconsistent domestically and are currently eighth in the Premier League.
In Europe, however, Gordon has been one of Newcastle’s standout performers. In the UEFA Champions League group stage, the England international produced five goals and one assist in six matches. Despite those contributions, Newcastle’s leadership are reported to believe Gordon may not be the long-term answer for the attacking evolution they are targeting.
The report points to a significant ankle injury in the summer of 2025 as a factor in Gordon’s uneven domestic form. He was forced off during a pre-season friendly against Atletico Madrid, disrupting his preparation. Although he returned in time for the start of the season, the lack of an uninterrupted build-up was described as affecting his rhythm and confidence in Premier League matches.
If Newcastle formally place Gordon on the market, the report says interest will not be in short supply. Liverpool have long monitored the winger, who has ties to the city and has previously drawn admiration from Anfield scouts, while Arsenal have also been linked in recent windows, with Mikel Arteta said to appreciate his pace, pressing and threat in transition. Newcastle are expected to demand a substantial fee, with the report citing Gordon’s age profile, homegrown status and European performances.
