Arsenal could sign Anthony Gordon in a potential £100m after reports revealed that the winger now has a release clause in his Newcastle United contract.

According to information from iPaper, as cited by FootballTransfers, the Magpies decided to include the clause following his impressive rise since joining the club.

Gordon became a Newcastle player in January 2023 when he signed from Everton for around £40 million.

Since then, he has developed into one of their most vital attacking players.

His impact has been remarkable, helping Newcastle end their long wait for silverware by winning the 2024/25 Carabao Cup, their first major trophy since 1959.

The 24-year-old’s progress has not gone unnoticed, with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said to be a strong admirer of the England international.

Arteta has monitored him closely, viewing him as a potential addition to his attacking options.

The report adds that the structure of Gordon’s new deal mirrors that of Bruno Guimaraes, who agreed fresh terms in 2023.

The Brazilian midfielder’s contract included a £100 million release clause which was active during the following summer.
