Bayern Munich are set to enter the race for Anthony Gordon, rivalling Arsenal and Liverpool for the Newcastle United winger.
Anthony Gordon could be one of the big stories of the upcoming transfer window, as he continues to attract significant interest. As per talkSPORT, Bayern Munich have entered the race to sign 25-year-old Newcastle United winger, with Arsenal and Liverpool also keen on the England international.
Bayern Munich are known to have one of the most formidable front-three setups on the continent at the moment, and Vincent Kompany is eager to improve their ranks there. The Bavarians are now part of the race for the 25-year-old Newcastle United wide man Anthony Gordon, who promises to be one of the big stories of the upcoming transfer window.
Gordon could be seen as a viable competitor for the left-hand side or even the right wing at Bayern Munich. He could fight for a place with the likes of Luis Diaz or Michael Olise, as Kompany looks for a winger who could suit his flexible attacking system.
Anthony Gordon is widely expected to leave Newcastle United in the upcoming window alongside a few of his high-profile colleagues. The Magpies are the favourites to miss out on Champions League football next season, which could see the need to sell players and balance their finances, meaning they might reluctantly accept a sale of stars like the 25-year-old winger.
Bayern Munich do represent a solid option for Gordon if they were to make a serious offer, as Kompany likes the former Everton star. He could play alongside the formidable Harry Kane over in Germany, which would also benefit the England setup in the long run. However, the Bavarians have hefty competition to manoeuvre through before they can sign the 25-year-old Newcastle wide man.
Will Arsenal and Liverpool challenge Bayern Munich for Anthony Gordon?
Arsenal are heavily linked with a move for Gordon, with Mikel Arteta eager to bring in a new left-sided attacker, and he views the Newcastle United star as one of his key targets. The prospect of joining the North London giants will allow the England winger to challenge for the title straight away, and that brings a certain appeal.
Liverpool are also keen as they gear up for a summer window that could see a few attacking talents emerge on their shortlist, including Gordon. However, the latest injury to Hugo Ekitike could see Arne Slot focus his efforts and finances on a new striker, although the Newcastle United star will still be on their radar.
