To Marc Guehi, Anthony Gordon has made it clear that he would prefer a move to Newcastle United than to Arsenal or Manchester United. The 23-year-old center defender had a fantastic season for Crystal Palace. As a result, both Arsenal and United are quite interested in signing him. Not to be left out, Newcastle United have also been connected to Guehi, who is reportedly valued at over £55 million by Palace.
Gordon, who plays with Guehi for England, has voiced his excitement over the prospect of reuniting with his teammate at Newcastle. Gordon expressed his wish for Guehi to join the St. James’ Park squad and his love for his talents in an interview with talkSPORT.
Nobody could have missed Guehi’s impressive performance in England’s 1-0 Group C opening win against Serbia. The qualities that set Guehi apart on the field—his coolness and ability to manage pressure—were emphasised by Gordon. In the encounter against Serbia, Guehi displayed remarkable composure while facing strong offensive threats. Gordon complimented Guehi on his defensive skills, highlighting his aggressive interceptions and superiority in aerial duels. Additionally, Gordon brought up the fact that Guehi is a great ally to England defender John Stones.

He said: ‘I haven’t actually seen the Newcastle links, but it goes without saying I’d absolutely love him to come because he’s a top player and he’d make us a better team.’
He added: ‘He’s top, he’s such a good player and I was glad the nation got to see him shine on that stage because he’s such a lovely guy and he deserves what’s coming to him. I thought he was unbelievable in that game [against Serbia] considering his height compared to the strikers they had on. He won every header, he was aggressive, intercepting loads and his main strength is composure on the ball, he’s like a midfielder. So him and Stonesy at the back, it’s a great partnership to control a game.’
What’s more?
Not only is Guehi good on defense, but he can also help his side in their buildup plays because to his deft touch with the ball. He is highly sought after by elite clubs due to this talent. He is highly regarded by Arsenal and Manchester United as a defensive reinforcement, although Guehi may be influenced by Newcastle’s pursuit of him and the popularity of Gordon.
The rumors about Guehi’s future are becoming worse as the summer transfer window draws near. Although Guehi himself will make the final decision, his increasing popularity in England has attracted attention from other elite clubs and received public accolades. Another twist in this transfer story has emerged with Gordon’s request that Guehi join Newcastle, which has made an attractive offer that Guehi may accept.
The aspirations of Newcastle United and their pursuit of world-class players like Guehi indicate their determination to challenge for the highest levels of competition. Gordon has advised Guehi to go to St. James’ Park, and if he does, it may be a huge step for the club and the player alike. In the weeks to come, we shall see whether Guehi listens to Gordon’s appeal or decides to go somewhere else.
