Newcastle must avoid Isak repeat with wantaway star | OneFootball

Anthony Gordon’s future at Newcastle United has been a subject of debate in recent weeks. 

The 25-year-old is reportedly keen to explore his options this summer. 

He hasn’t told Newcastle he wants to leave, but he will likely seek a move in the upcoming transfer window. 

Gordon has been a key player since joining from Everton in 2023. He has bagged 39 goals and 28 assists in 152 senior appearances. 

However, it appears the forward wants to leave Newcastle, with Arsenal and Bayern Munich interested in signing him. 

Newcastle must avoid their previous mistake

The Magpies tried their best to keep Alexander Isak at St James’ Park last summer.

However, the Swedish international went on strike and ultimately joined Liverpool in a move worth up to £130 million. 

Isak’s messy departure negatively impacted the squad’s morale. They struggled to find a suitable replacement, as Hugo Ekitike and Benjamin Sesko rejected moves to Newcastle. 

They subsequently brought in Nick Woltemade in a club record £69m deal.

The German made an explosive start to life in the Premier League, but his form has nosedived since, scoring one goal in his last 25 games.  

Newcastle must not repeat the Isak mistake with Gordon. 

If the England international wants to leave, they should sell him to the highest bidder and sign someone who is committed to Newcastle.
