DONE DEAL: Arsenal completes the signing of premier League proven attacker after shocking Man United defeat as Andrea Berta announced Arsenal second January signing Today
Arsenal should target a summer transfer move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon as an upgrade on Belgium international star Leandro Trossard.
That is the view of former Gunners defender Emmanuel Eboue who feels the form Gordon has shown in the Champions League this season would benefit Mikel Arteta’s side.
Gordon has scored six goals in the Champions League this term but has struggled to match that sort of goalscoring form in the Premier League.
Nonetheless, he remains a hugely important player for Newcastle and while the Magpies would be reluctant to sanction any sale, Eboue would love to see his former side test the waters this summer.
“I think Trossard, this year, he’s been better than Martinelli. Even when he’s coming off the bench, he scores and plays well.,” Eboue told Aceodds.com.
“So I think Arsenal need to strengthen the left-wing spot. Trossard is doing well but he’s not playing every game at his best. So for next season, they need to think about getting new wingers for the left side.
“But Trossard, I’m very happy for him and how he’s doing this season. He’s scored some very important goals for Arsenal so I’m really happy for him
I am very surprised to see the performances from Anthony Gordon. When he left Everton and joined Newcastle, you can see the improvement he’s made and how he’s changed the way he plays. So, I’m very happy for him.
“I’m not surprised if Arsenal are thinking of getting Gordon because if he comes to Arsenal, I know that he will do very well. He’s a very good winger. If he comes to Arsenal, he will help the team a lot.
“Because I’m surprised by how well he plays. He’s changed the way he plays. In the Champions League, he’s been great for Newcastle. I think if next year Arsenal think about getting Gordon, it would be very good.
