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 The Times, the German outfit is currently leading the race for his signature. 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 the 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. He is at the peak of his career, and he needs to play regularly.
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. The signing of Noni Madueke has not worked out, and the former Chelsea player has been quite underwhelming. Arsenal needs someone who can create opportunities from the flanks and score goals consistently. Gordon has recorded 22 goal contributions for Newcastle this season. His numbers could improve when he is playing on a better team with an attacking set-up. He could prove to be an upgrade on the Arsenal attacker.
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 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. They have spent substantial sums on quality attacking players, and it remains to be seen whether they can beat the German champions to his signature.
