Alan Shearer has warned Arsenal they will likely need to pay Newcastle United a club-record fee if they want to sign Anthony Gordon this summer. Newcastle, aware of the substantial interest in Gordon, value him at £100 million, and Arsenal and Liverpool are both admirers of him. Alan Shearer believes it would take almost double £60 million to prise Anthony Gordon from Newcastle.
Newcastle United are looking destined to miss out on Champions League qualification, and a host of Newcastle's best players have already been linked with moves away in the summer. Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes are attracting significant interest, with Sandro Tonali rumoured to be interesting Arsenal on the final day of the January transfer window. Tino Livramento is also said to have an admirer in Mikel Arteta, and Newcastle value Tino Livramento at £60 million.
Anthony Gordon is still a young lad and he has to consider his future on a base of stability and repay the trust that he's got from his manager. His tournament at the World Cup may change and speed up a little bit. I would love to see a bit more consistency from him, but I would love to see him at Manchester United as well. He's definitely a big asset. I'd like to see him play at the highest level for two seasons, then join a club like United and have a big impact.
Manchester United will likely be able to offer potential new signings Champions League football after climbing to third in the Premier League under caretaker boss Michael Carrick, but the club are yet to decide who will be Ruben Amorim's permanent replacement. Michael Carrick has emerged as the frontrunner for the Manchester United job. Manchester United hope to bolster their squad in the summer, with a central midfielder one of the key additions ahead of Casemiro's departure at the end of the season.
Louis Saha wants Manchester United to strengthen in the attacking areas and says he would 'love' his former club to sign Newcastle United and England winger Anthony Gordon. Louis Saha views Jude Bellingham as his 'dream signing' for Manchester United. Anthony Gordon has been one of the most electric wingers in the Premier League since his £45 million move from Everton in 2023, scoring 17 goals this season in all competitions.
My dream summer signing for Manchester United would be Jude Bellingham. It's a crazy idea, but he has everything. I'd absolutely love to see it. His athleticism is, I think, the best in the world. He's able to play in many roles, including number 8 or number 10. He has a sense of leadership, he'd definitely be a leader, a bit like Bruno Fernandes in some ways. He's definitely in that bracket of world-class players. All these qualities would be amazing for United, and I think he'd love to return to England and play in the Premier League. So, it would be a dream. Obviously, players like Bruno Guimaraes or Sandro Tonali are maybe more reachable and definitely able to do a great job for us. They also have leadership and aggressiveness, but are they able to play many roles and score goals as well? But United have found a kind of balance, and those players would improve it.
Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have been the two wingers used by Mikel Arteta on Arsenal's left wing over the course of the last three seasons.
