Arsenal and Liverpool fall behind Bayern in £75m transfer race
Arsenal and Liverpool are both in danger of missing out on one of their transfer targets this summer as Bayern Munich have stolen a march on them.
The two Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, who reportedly wants to leave St. James’ Park.
The 25-year-old was left out of the matchday squad for the 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, fueling speculation over his future at the Magpies.
Eddie Howe insisted that Gordon was sidelined by a hip flexor injury, although he did make a point of saying in his pre-match press conference that only players committed to the club would play.
