Anthony Gordon’s future at Newcastle United appears increasingly uncertain after Eddie Howe said he does not know whether the winger has already played his final game for the club. Gordon has faced heavy transfer speculation, including strong links to Bayern Munich for a potential summer move. He did not feature in Newcastle’s final four Premier League matches, and he remained on the bench during a 2-0 defeat away to Fulham. Howe responded to questions about Gordon’s Newcastle career by saying football cannot be predicted and that Gordon will now go to the World Cup with England. Newcastle’s late-season selection choices, including using 18-year-old Sean Neave instead of Gordon, have raised concerns about behind-the-scenes issues.
"Howe was asked by Sky Sports whether Gordon's Newcastle career might be over, he gave a very honest answer, saying he simply did not know and that football can be unpredictable. He also pointed out that Gordon will now head to the World Cup with England and wished him well. Eddie Howe provides update on Anthony Gordon Howe said: I don't know. You can never predict what's going to happen. He goes to the World Cup now, so we wish him well."
"Gordon did not feature in any of Newcastle's final four Premier League matches of the season, and the situation became even more telling when he stayed on the bench during the Magpies' 2-0 defeat away to Fulham on Sunday. When Howe was asked by Sky Sports whether Gordon's Newcastle career might be over, he gave a very honest answer, saying he simply did not know and that football can be unpredictable."
"This is a strange situation because Gordon has been one of Newcastle's most exciting players since arriving from Everton. At his best, he brings pace, energy, direct running and a bit of attitude, all the things supporters usually love in a wide player. But the way this season has ended makes it hard to ignore the feeling that something is going on behind the scenes."
"The 25-year-old was an unused substitute in Newcastle's final matches, and against Fulham, Howe even turned to 18-year-old Sean Neave instead of bringing Gordon on. For a player of Gordon's profile, that is not a small detail. It feels like a message, whether intentional or not. Newcastle United star has interest from top clubs Reports have suggested Bayern Munich are serious about signing him, with Newcastle said to value Gordon at around 75 million."
