Bayern Munich have reportedly contacted the representatives of Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon. <\/p>\n

The England international has scored 39 goals and provided 21 assists in 151 competitive appearances since he joined Newcastle from Everton in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

Gordon has scored in each of Newcastle’s last three Premier League games, demonstrating his importance to Eddie Howe’s side.<\/p>\n

However, the Magpies may have to fend off interest this summer if they want to retain Gordon’s services at St James’ Park.<\/p>\n

That is because the 25-year-old is believed to be a potential target for at least two Premier League clubs. <\/p>\n

Liverpool view Gordon as a possible replacement<\/strong> for Cody Gakpo, while Arsenal are keeping a close eye<\/strong> on his situation at Newcastle ahead of the summer window. <\/p>\n

The two Premier League giants could also face competition from fellow Champions League quarter-finalists Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri<\/a><\/em>Bayern have already made contact with Gordon’s representatives.<\/p>\n

Vincent Kompany’s side are not ruling out the possibility of pursuing a summer move for a player who is under contract with Newcastle until the summer of 2030.<\/p>\n

The Magpies are reluctant to sanction Gordon’s departure, so it will take a signicant fee for them to consider parting ways with the attacker. <\/p>\n

Would Gordon benefit from Bayern move?<\/h2>\n

The transfer update claims that Gordon has not closed the door over a potential move to the Allianz Arena, having been left inspired by the success of Michael Olise since he left the Premier League for the Bavarians.<\/p>\n

A move to Bayern would also guarantee Champions League football, something that will surely be on Gordon’s mind as Newcastle battles to secure any form of European football for next term.<\/p>\n

However, there is some doubt as to whether it would be a wise move for Gordon, who would struggle to nail down a regular starting spot. <\/p>\n

Kompany can currently call upon Olise and Luis Diaz as his first-choice wingers, while Harry Kane is the club’s undisputed first-choice striker.<\/p>\n

Bayern would probably benefit from adding depth to their wide options, but Gordon is unlikely to settle for a substitute role or being injury cover. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
