Premier League rivals Arsenal and Chelsea could go against each other in the race to sign English winger this summer.
Both the teams are looking to spend heavily to strengthen their squad this summer.
While Arsenal are set to finish the season without silverware, Chelsea could still win a trophy by winning the Conference League.
It is clear that both the teams have underperformed this season considering their high standards and that is why they are going to be out in the market to add more attacking firepower to their squad.
Newcastle star is a target of Arsenal and Chelsea
According to iNews, the Gunners and the Blues are interested in signing Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon this summer.
Gordon has made nine appearances for England after his impressive performances have seen him earn a call-up to the England squad.
His fine form for Newcastle has not gone unnoticed by the top Premier League clubs.
Although this season he might not be at the top of his game, he was still a part of the Newcastle squad that ended their trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup final.
