Newcastle boss Eddie Howe refused to comment on reports that Bayern Munich had opened talks to sign Anthony Gordon this summer. 

On Thursday, Sky Sports News reported had made contact for the winger and the club were open to offers as they expect Gordon to explore his options.

When asked about the situation, Howe said: “No, none. That is not something I’m involved in.”

Previous quotes from Howe were then referenced in the press conference where he had stated that players who were not “100 per cent” committed to the club would not feature. 

Newcastle face Nottingham Forest, live on Sky Sports, this Sunday and end the season with games against West Ham and Fulham.

On whether Gordon was committed and will feature, Howe added: “Yeah, he wouldn’t be in the squad if that wasn’t the case. 

“I judge that on my relationship with the player and how I see them train.

“I will do what is right for the team and best for the football club. 

“It is difficult for me to comment on individual players and timescales. It is an area that is not my forte. 

“All I am looking to do is trying to finish this season with this squad in a strong way. There is no point looking too far into the future.

“The summer transfer window is difficult to predict on any elvel. We have three big games to play.”
