Gordon, 25, has been linked with the Gunners in recent months while German giants Bayern Munich have also emerged as potential suitors.‌It was claimed earlier this week that Bayern are lining up a £55million bid. Newcastle, however, would demand considerably more for the England international, who wants his future resolved before the World Cup which starts in June.‌The Telegraph report that although Gordon hasn't informed Newcastle of his desire to leave, sources indicate that he'll seek a move away during the summer transfer window. Arsenal are said to have long-standing interest in the winger, who they've discussed in recruitment meetings.‌Liverpool, meanwhile, could revive their interest after nearly signing Gordon in 2024, shortly before he penned a new long-term contract with Newcastle. It's added that despite coming through Everton's academy, he'd jump at the chance to join their local rivals.WORLD CUP LEGENDS: The stars who lit up football's greatest tournament - Buy the Special Edition todayREAD MORE: Declan Rice's spiky response to Arsenal doubters - 'Who cares what people think'OPINIONJohn CrossArsenal may have got past Sporting - but they still look tired, flat and fatiguedArsenal FC
