The left winger played in 38 games in all competitions and contributed 19 goals (15 goals, 4 assists).<\/p>\n<p>He prefers to play wide on the left, but has also been used in a number nine role. He does a great job across the front line and his versatility is one of the reasons rival clubs want to sign him.<\/p>\n<p>His contract runs until 2029 and the Magpies will be in control of negotiations. But that doesn&#8217;t deter interested clubs. Arsenal are believed to be the most serious suitors. With the futures of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli uncertain, Gordon is seen as an ideal addition on the left flank.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arsenal_compete_with_rival_clubs_to_sign_Gordon\"><\/span>Arsenal compete with rival clubs to sign Gordon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league-770x514.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league-1200x800.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league-1536x1025.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/manchester-city-v-newcastle-united-premier-league.jpg.webp 1805w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United (Photo by Carl Recine\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Gunners will face stiff competition from Manchester United and Liverpool.
