Arsenal interested in signing Everton teenager Anthony Gordon

Arsenal are eyeing up the potential signing of Everton youngster Anthony Gordon, according to the Daily Mail.

The 17-year-old forward is seen a hugely exciting prospect at Goodison Park – one of their promising in years – having been at the club since the age of 11.

He made his debut for Everton’s first-team last December, coming on as a late substitute away to Apollon Limassol in the Europa League.

Gordon became the first-ever 21st century-born player to represent the Toffees in the process.

Arsenal have often been keen on bringing young English players into the club and Unai Emery appears to have similar beliefs.

The north Londoners are expected to face stiff competition for Gordon’s signature, however, not least from Everton, who will be desperate to keep hold of him.

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly interested in bringing in more emerging Englishmen, following the success of teenager Jadon Sancho at Westfalenstadion.

Meanwhile, Dortmund’s Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich are also thought to be showing an interest in Gordon, who is now a fixture in England’s U18s squad.
