The transfer window may now be closed until January but there could well be a feeling that more could have been done over the summer at Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta‘s side are already facing their first test of the 2024/25 campaign despite being just three games deep.
Arsenal have been able to take seven points from their opening three games but injuries and suspensions are set to leave Arteta with a selection headache.
The summer saw Arsenal linked with a big money move for Nico Williams who has since decided to remain at Athletic Bilbao, for now.
In the dying minutes of deadline day, Raheem Sterling secured himself a move to the north London outfit on a season-long loan.
But there could well be another Premier League winger who the Gunners have their eyes on ahead of next summer’s window.
Whether Arsenal are interested in Anthony Gordon
It has been suggested that Arsenal have already shown an interest in Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon over the summer.
The England international enjoyed a seriously impressive 2023/24 season with the north east side.
And that also saw the likes of Liverpool show an interest in Gordon when Newcastle were suffering from their PSR issues.
However, Fabrizio Romano has now shared his understanding on Arsenal’s reported interest in Gordon.
“I’m aware there have been some claims made about Arsenal enquiring about Anthony Gordon, but I wanted to clarify my understanding around the Newcastle winger here,” he said in his Daily Briefing.
“As I reported previously, Liverpool were the club in talks to sign Gordon in June. I don’t have any concrete info on Arsenal also because they never really planned to spend crazy money on a winger this summer. Liverpool wanted him in June but then he was too expensive.
“That’s all we can say for now – it’s normal to have top talents like this being linked with big clubs, but Newcastle were strong with their asking price and so a move to Liverpool couldn’t happen, while I can’t confirm what some others are saying about Arsenal, if that changes I will let you know.”
Anthony Gordon would be a Gabriel Martinelli upgrade
Gordon has now been playing his football on Tyneside for around 18 months and last season he certainly impressed.
The England international returned 11 goals and 10 assists in the Premier League alone.
However, Gordon is believed to have had his head turned by Liverpool’s interest over the summer despite still having two years on his Newcastle contract.
Considering Martinelli only provided six goals and four assists in the league last season, Gordon could well provide Arsenal with a big upgrade on the left wing.
