Arsenal have a \u2018huge advantage\u2019 over Liverpool and Bayern Munich in the race to sign Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The Gunners are looking for a new left winger in the summer transfer window as that position is reportedly seen as a weakness ahead of the upcoming market.<\/p>\n
Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard have been earmarked as a part of Mikel Arteta\u2019s squad that could potentially be improved on.<\/p>\n
Arsenal<\/strong> could still win the Premier League and Champions League this season and the Gunners are already looking ahead to the summer to improve the squad.<\/p>\n Gordon has emerged as a potential top target with the Newcastle star reportedly \u2018keen to explore his options to leave\u2019 at the end of the season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe has now warned Gordon that he will be removed from the squad to face Bournemouth at the weekend if he feels the England international isn\u2019t committed to the club.<\/p>\n READ: <\/span>Arsenal \u2019embarrassingly boring\u2019 and Arteta destined for Rangers after sack as \u2018brainless\u2019 Rice slammed<\/strong><\/p>\n Howe told the media on Friday: \u201cI\u2019m not going to play a player, any player, if I don\u2019t feel they\u2019re 100% committed to the club and to its future.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause that commitment, that resolve, what a player gives the team, has to be total.\u201d<\/p>\n David Ornstein of The Athletic<\/em> suspects that Bayern Munich would need to move a player on before they bought Gordon this summer as the Newcastle star would not want to be a back-up option.<\/p>\n Ornstein revealed: \u201cIt\u2019s still early. Bayern\u2019s interest is not new and we know the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool have coveted him previously, too.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are plenty of suggestions around the industry that Bayern could be the direction of travel \u2013 but I imagine they would need to shift somebody because they wouldn\u2019t want Gordon as a back-up and he won\u2019t want to go somewhere as a back-up.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know of him being at the top of Arsenal\u2019s list and from what I hear a move to Liverpool is not on his or their agenda, even after the Ekitike injury. Newcastle seem open to a sale but at the right price and if the reported \u00a380m is true, that will not be easily achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ARSENAL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> And The Sun<\/em> claims that Arsenal \u2018have a huge advantage in the race to land\u2019 Gordon and is \u2018open\u2019 to a move away from Newcastle this summer.<\/p>\n The England international is \u2018at the top of the Gunners\u2019 list of wingers and could move in a \u00a375million deal\u2019 with The Sun \u2018understanding that Gordon would prefer a move to London over any other city\u2019.<\/p>\n Martinelli and Trossard \u2018are likely to leave this summer\u2019 and Arsenal \u2018also have other players on their list as they look to upgrade their options on the left\u2019.<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Gary Neville picks out Arsenal star who can win the Gunners the title vs Man City<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n
