Anthony Gordon wants to join Bayern Munich

Anthony Gordon believes that joining Bayern Munich next summer is the best next step for his career, according to Sky Sport DE.

Gordon has already informed his close friends and faimly to him that he would be open to a move to the German champions.

Michael Olise’s move to Bavaria has inspired him to also make the move away from the Premier League and elevate his profile in the Bundesliga.

The 25-year-old would be competing with Luis Diaz for a spot at left wing, but he seems to be ready to back himself to make the move.

Vincent Kompany’s team wrapped up consecutive Bundesliga titles over the weekend and are now aiming to complete a historic treble.

Munich have started making plans to meet with the player’s agents to discuss the personal terms of a potential permanent transfer.

Arsenal are now at risk of being left behind in the race to sign the England international, who looks set on a move abroad.

Arsenal should be moving for Bradley Barcola

Missing out on Gordon would not be the end of the world, and instead, the Gunners should be moving for Bradley Barcola.

Barcola’s contract talks with PSG have stalled, and the North London club should be looking to pounce.

Meanwhile, PSG are keen on Gabriel Martinelli, and the Gunners should be looking to agree on some sort of swap deal.

Left wing needs to be a priority for the summer transfer window, and that was highlighted against Man City on Sunday.
