2 May 2026 09:00 BST |<\/span> Newcastle United legend Chris Waddle believes that his former club should demand a fee of at least \u20ac115 million (\u00a3100m) for Arsenal target Anthony Gordon during the upcoming summer transfer window.<\/p>\n Gordon, 25, has been heavily linked with a St James\u2019 Park exit in recent weeks and he is one of several forwards on Arsenal\u2019s shortlist of targets as they look to bolster the attacking options at Mikel Arteta\u2019s disposal ahead of next season.<\/p>\n The England international is also wanted by Bayern Munich and Chelsea, as per reports, but Waddle has admitted that it will take a huge fee to tempt Newcastle into a sale this summer.<\/p>\n Speaking on behalf of Genting Casino, where players can enjoy a diverse selection of slots including Football Cash Collect Slot<\/b>the ex-Newcastle winger told FootballTransfers<\/b>: \u201cIf Alexander Isak went for \u00a3125m (\u20ac145m), you\u2019ve got to be looking at \u00a3100m (\u20ac115m) for Anthony Gordon.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s young, he\u2019s only going to get better, you would think, so there\u2019s no reason why Newcastle can\u2019t ask for \u00a3100m+ in modern day football.<\/p>\n \u201cHe scores goals, he creates chances and if I were Newcastle, he\u2019s got four years left on his contract, I\u2019d say, \u2018he\u2019s not for sale.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cIf he wants to leave, I\u2019d say, \u2018put a transfer request in.\u2019 And then say, \u2018you\u2019re not leaving unless it\u2019s over \u00a3100m\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n While Waddle believes that Newcastle should demand at least \u20ac115m for Gordon, which would make him the third-most expensive English player in history behind Jack Grealish and Declan Rice, his Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) stands at just \u20ac51.9m.<\/p>\n As a result, Arsenal would be massively overpaying if they agree to spend over double that figure to secure Gordon\u2019s signature ahead of next season.<\/p>\n However, the England star boasts proven Premier League experience, which is extremely attractive, and he has registered 22 goal contributions in 46 appearances across all competitions so far this season, despite Newcastle\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n FootballTransfers<\/i> understands that Arsenal are expected to submit a formal bid for Gordon when the summer transfer window opens<\/b>although the Gunners have also identified a number of alternative targets, including RB Leipzig starlet Yan Diomande.<\/p>\n Arteta\u2019s side are in the market for a new full-back and a new central midfielder too, with fellow Newcastle stars Valentino Livramento and Sandro Tonali also on their radar.<\/p>\n Exclusive: Eddie Howe receives Newcastle sack verdict<\/b><\/p>\n Chelsea’s dream next manager has Arsenal ‘plan’<\/b><\/p>\n Fabrizio Romano Transfer News: Gordon bombshell, Rashford talks, Klopp to Real Madrid<\/b><\/p>\n Check out FootballTransfers’ new app for all of football’s big storylines, transfer rumours and exclusive news in one convenient place directly on your mobile device.<\/p>\n The FootballTransfers app is available on Google Play and in the Apple App Store.
