Head coach Eddie Howe has urged Anthony Gordon to stay "fully focused" after the Newcastle United forward was linked with a move to Arsenal. Gordon is the latest key figure at the club to have been subject of reported interest elsewhere. This is despite the England international dismissing such talk as "a load of rubbish" in an interview with reporters just last week. He's got to be fully focused on straight ahead and the next game, and trying to be as good as he can be." Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento are just some of the Newcastle players who have been touted with moves away in the media in recent months.
