Spor dünyasında son dakika haberi: Bayern links and World Cup hopes - a big summer for Gordon Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Bayern Munich would like Harry Kane and Anthony Gordon to be club-mates next season By Sami Mokbel Senior football correspondent Published 20 minutes ago It's a big summer for Anthony Gordon. For the time being, the Newcastle attacker's focus will be fixed on trying to help his club out of their meandering form. But there is also a looming World Cup, in which the winger hopes to play a major part for England.

Meanwhile, Gordon's future is set to be one of the most prevalent narratives of the summer transfer window. A move to Germany is in the pipeline for the former Everton forward, with Bayern Munich seriously interest in the 25-year-old. Footballers are conditioned not to peek too far ahead but you could understand if Gordon had at least half an eye on what's next.

Maçın Detayları

Here, Sport examines his role in Thomas Tuchel's plans heading into the World Cup and how his club future is shaping up. Newcastle 'will consider offers for Gordon' It is understood that Gordon is one of a number players Newcastle will listen to offers for at the end of the season. As outlined by Sport last week, the club will need to sell at least one of their crown jewels in order to give head coach Eddie Howe funds to strengthen his squad if they miss out on European football.

Gordon is one of five players - along with Tino Livramento, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Lewis Hall - who would probably command the highest transfer fee. Sensing an opportunity, it is understood Bayern have accelerated their interest in Gordon in recent weeks. Well-placed sources indicate the player is aware that the Bundesliga champions admire his abilities.

And as things stand, he is understood to be open to considering a move to Germany. Bayern are an attractive proposition. They pay well and offer a near-cast iron guarantee of competing for major trophies every season.

And they would provide the chance for Gordon to team up at club level with England captain Harry Kane. But as Luis Diaz appears to have the left-wing role locked in at Bayern, it would be interesting to see how regularly Gordon would play at the Allianz Arena. And while sources are indicating that a move to Germany has a good chance of happening in the coming months, there are obvious obstacles that need to be cleared – namely the transfer fee.

Newcastle are in a relatively strong position to command a minimum of £70m for Gordon this summer. They signed him from Everton for £45m three years ago, although the following season he was offered to Liverpool by Newcastle. He still has four years on his contract, so Newcastle have leverage - though finances are tight at St James' Park because of profit and sustainability rules, and Bayern will know that.

All that said, Bayern are unlikely to be the only club at the table for Gordon. Arsenal have a long-term interest and considered making an offer in the summer of 2024.
