Newcastle United's star forward Anthony Gordon is once again making headlines, with reports linking him to a potential summer move to Bayern Munich. The 23-year-old England international has been in scintillating form this season, netting 18 goals to lead the Magpies' scoring charts. But when asked about the speculation, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe kept his cards close to his chest.

"That's not something I'm involved in," Howe said during his Friday press conference, as reported by Sky Sports. "It's difficult for me to comment on individual players and timescales. That area is not my forte."

With the summer transfer window fast approaching, rumors are swirling like a well-struck free kick. Bayern Munich, perennial Bundesliga champions, are reportedly circling Gordon as they look to bolster their attack. But Howe, ever the pragmatist, is focused on the here and now.

"All I'm looking to do is try to finish this season with this squad in a strong way," he added. "There's no point looking too far into the future. The summer transfer window is difficult to predict on any level. We have three big games to play."

For Newcastle fans, Gordon's form has been a bright spot in a season of ups and downs. The winger's pace, creativity, and eye for goal have made him a fan favorite at St. James' Park. But with Bayern's interest heating up, the question remains: will Gordon be wearing black and white stripes next season, or could we see him in the famous red of Munich?

As the season winds down, all eyes will be on Howe's squad as they aim to finish strong. Whether Gordon stays or goes, one thing's for sure—the summer transfer window promises to be a thriller.
