Bayern Munich open Gordon transfer talks with Newcastle United

Bayern Munich have reportedly opened talks with Newcastle United over potential deal for Anthony Gordon in the summer transfer window.

The winger’s future at St. James’ Park is up in the air after weeks of speculation, including links with Arsenal, Barcelona and Liverpool as well as Bayern.

The 25-year-old has not played any of the last three Premier League games for the Magpies amid the rumours. A hip issue was cited as the reason for missing the defeats to Bournemouth and Arsenal, but he was an unused substitute when he returned to the matchday squad for last Saturday’s win over Brighton.

It’s unclear whether Gordon will play for Newcastle again, with Sky Sports News reporting that the club “will listen to offers” as they “expect him to want to explore his options this summer”.

After “keeping tabs” on the England international since the turn of the year, Bayern have “made official contact” with the Tyneside outfit. The two clubs are said to have a “good relationship”.
