Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon has been heavily linked with a summer move away from the Tyneside club.
Premier League clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in signing Anthony Gordon, but they will face competition from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. According to a report by The Times, the Bavarian outfit are currently leading the race to sign him. The player is valued at £75 million, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
Bayern Munich are already well-stocked in their attacking unit. They have quality wingers like Luis Diaz and Michael Olise. It remains to be seen whether they can accommodate Gordon in the starting lineup. The England international will not want to sit on the bench at a top club. The Englishman is at the peak of his career, and he needs to play regularly.
Arsenal or Liverpool move could be ideal
On the other hand, clubs like Arsenal and Liverpool might be able to provide him with regular opportunities. Arsenal need more quality on the flanks. Noni Madueke has not been consistent enough, and the former Chelsea player has been quite underwhelming. Arsenal need someone who can create opportunities from the flanks and score goals consistently.
Gordon has recorded 22 goal contributions for Newcastle United this season. His numbers could improve when he is playing for a better team with an efficient attacking setup. He could prove to be an upgrade on the Arsenal attacker, and recent reports have claimed that the Gunners are best-placed to secure his services.
Similarly, Liverpool will need more quality on the flanks next season. Cody Gakpo has been hugely underwhelming, and Mohamed Salah has announced that he will leave the Merseyside club in the summer. They need to bring two quality wide players during the summer transfer window. Gordon is also a lifelong Liverpool fan, and the opportunity to join the Premier League champions could be exciting for him.

Arsenal and Liverpool have the financial muscle to pay £75 million for the attacker. They have been quite active in the transfer market in recent windows. The two Premier League giants have spent substantial sums on quality attacking players, and it remains to be seen whether they can beat the German champions to his signature.
