It was a deal that should have shut down any speculation about Gordon's future, which had been running wild in the summer.

Arsenal are among the clubs who have ‘huge admiration’ for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, journalist David Ornstein has revealed. The England international only signed a new long-term deal with Newcastle in October, but he certainly has not gone off Premier League heavyweights’ radar.

Arsenal are among the teams that are said to admire Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United. The winger was wanted by Liverpool in the summer and pursued the move himself. However, the Magpies held firm and decided that he was not for sale at any price. Per The Athletic, Arsenal are merely keeping themselves informed about Gordon ’s situation.

If suitors - namely Arsenal - wish to secure his services, the Magpies will not enter the mere thought of negotiations unless their valuation, in excess of £150m, is met. This would make Isak the most expensive player in the history of British football.

Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak remains of serious interest to Arsenal but even a dramatic mega-money bid wouldn't be enough to sign him this month.

Speaking to Sky Sports, David Ornstein has been discussing some potential outgoings at Newcastle, and he touched on Anthony Gordon’s future, claiming that Arsenal are indeed among the teams that admire the winger.

The Bees' star player is enjoying his most successful Premier League season yet, and it would take a significant bid to tempt Brentford into parting with him before the transfer window shuts next week.

Arsenal have suffered a couple of blows to their hopes of reaching the Carabao Cup final - so are acting quickly

Villa have only one fit centre-back - Ezri Konsa - with Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings injured and the perplexing recent sale of Diego Carlos, meaning Boubacar Kamar will likely play at the back again here, which in turn leaves them light in midfield due to injuries to Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley.

Alan Shearer, considered the greatest striker to wear Newcastle United's famous black and white stripes, was recently filmed conducting a well-received sit-down chat with the man who appears to have a chance to one day unseat him for that unofficial accolade.
