Newcastle United star may have played his last for the club after Fulham omission - transfer interest confirmed

Anthony Gordon may have played his last game for Newcastle United.

Anthony Gordon is again on the bench as Newcastle United face Fulham on the final day of the Premier League season.

Gordon hasn’t featured in any of the Magpies’ last five games, missing Bournemouth and Arsenal with a hip issue before returning and being left on the bench against Brighton & Hove Albion, Nottingham Forest and West Ham United

Eddie Howe admitted recently to picking his team with “partial view to the future” and has also said previously he wouldn’t select players that he feels aren’t 100% committed to the club.

Bayern Munich sporting director Max Eberl revealed this week he has held “good conversations” with Gordon’s camp and “hopes they can make progress”. The 25-year-old is open to joining the Bundesliga giants but Howe says are “no guarantees” he leaves.

It’s understood the two clubs still remain some way apart in terms of a transfer fee.

Speaking on Friday, Howe said: “That's a difficult one for me to comment on in terms of how he should be remembered because that's us almost saying that he is going, and there's no guarantee,” Howe said. “We don't know at this moment whether it will be his last game.

“Obviously, I've picked a team, as I've said many times in the last few weeks, that's been performing well. Anthony has come back from injury. He's been great around the group. He's been absolutely part of the team, so, there's been no issues.

“Let's see what happens. I think the right time to give an answer to that question will be if he does leave. And then I'll obviously discuss that with him.”

Newcastle United starting XI v Fulham

Howe has made two changes from last Sunday’s 3-1 win over West Ham United as Dan Burn comes in for Kieran Trippier, which is likely to see Lewis Hall move over to right-back, while Jacob Murphy replaces Harvey Barnes on the right wing.

Sandro Tonali has been passed fit to start, despite coming off early in the second half last weekend with a hamstring issue.

Newcastle United: Nick Pope, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Sandro Tonali, Malick Thiaw, Will Osula, Jacob Murphy, Nick Woltemade, Dan Burn, Bruno Guimarães, Jacob Ramsey.

Substitutes: Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Trippier, Yoane Wissa, Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes, Anthony Elanga, Joe Willock, Alex Murphy, Sean Neave.
