Newcastle United opts to sell Arsenal target to a team outside England
Arsenal have been monitoring Anthony Gordon for a considerable period and could intensify their interest in signing him at the end of this season. The Gunners have continued to track the winger as they assess options to strengthen their attacking unit.
They regard Gordon as one of the finest wide players in the Premier League and would like to bring him to North London from Newcastle United. However, Newcastle remain determined to keep hold of one of their most influential players.
Newcastle Prefer Overseas Sale
Newcastle are a club reluctant to lose key figures, particularly when a sale would involve a direct Premier League rival. That stance has reportedly led them to decide against doing business with Arsenal or any other English top-flight side.
Liverpool is also interested in signing Gordon, but The Times reports that Newcastle have instead focused on the possibility of selling him to Bayern Munich, who have recently entered the race for his signature.
Newcastle have placed a substantial valuation on the attacker and remain intent on dealing with Bayern if the German champions are prepared to meet their asking price. That approach would allow Newcastle to maximise the fee while avoiding a transfer to a Premier League rival.
