According to a report from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Bayern Munich could be getting a nice little boost in its pursuit of Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon.

Plettenberg is reporting that Gordon is ready to leave Newcastle and maybe England altogether:

Newcastle United is expected to take a hardline stance in its expectations for a transfer fee and Bayern Munich is expected to come in lower than the Magpies would like. So, what could expedite the process of the two sides reaching a compromise?

A little pressure from Gordon and his agent.

Neither Gordon, nor his agent have said anything publicly, but Magpies head coach Eddie Howe has already implied that Gordon could have one eye on the summer transfer window.

If it becomes clear that Gordon only wants Bayern Munich, Newcastle United will be in the awkward position of trying to keep a player who does not want to be there or selling him for a lesser fee.

At that point, things could get interesting.
