Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has played down speculation surrounding the future of winger Anthony Gordon.
The England international has recently been linked with moves to Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
Speaking ahead of Newcastle’s Premier League clash against AFC Bournemouth, Howe dismissed the reports, noting that he only addresses such matters when necessary.
“After I had the chat with Sandro [Tonali], the biggest thing I look for is the commitment to training. That will be the same with Anthony [Gordon] and every player.”
“I won’t play a player if I don’t think they are 100% committed to the club and its future. I have to do what I think is right for the team. I don’t necessarily address transfer speculation unless it gets to the point that I feel I have to” Eddie Howe said.
Newcastle, currently 14th in the table, face 11th-placed Bournemouth on Saturday, April 18, with the hosts heading into the fixture on a 12-game unbeaten run.
