Ex-England international feels Gordon "is not on the same level as Luis Diaz"
Ex-England international feels Gordon "is not on the same level as Luis Diaz" Ex-England international Danny Murphy has expressed that he is “a bit surprised” by Bayern Munich's interest in Anthony Gordon . In an interview with talkSport, the former Liverpool and Fulham man feels the Newcastle United star doesn't improve Bayern's squad. “If you look at where Bayern currently stand, I don’t think he’s a threat to the starting eleven.
He’s not on the same level as Luis Diaz. “I like Anthony Gordon; he has great strengths and qualities [in his game], but his level of consistency is a problem. “He had this fantastic spell in Europe this season, but he also scored a lot of penalties.
This is his highest-scoring season,” he said. However, Murphy acknowledged the financial benefits for the Magpies winger, who could be in for a big pay increase if he joins Bayern. "Of course, he would get an incredible contract there.
They will pay him more than Newcastle, and moving to a club that is more likely to win titles. “They will have 60 games, so he will get playing time. From a footballing perspective, I try to see it from his point of view.
"Apart from the financial gain, you will be sitting on the bench now and then,” the 49-year-old concluded on a slightly negative note. The 25-year-old has been predominantly linked with the German record champions to enable Vincent Kompany to rest key players.
