Is the 'idiot' striking back? Transfer target Anthony Gordon could fill a dual role at Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich's Attacking Tradition

FC Bayern are reportedly making a strong push to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. The 25-year-old has a bit of Harry Kane about him and a bit of Luis Díaz; he's lightning fast – and rather expensive for a backup player.

Expensive Signings from the Premier League

In recent summers, FC Bayern have established a tradition of recruiting high-priced attackers from the Premier League. In 2023, Harry Kane arrived from Tottenham Hotspur for €95 million; in 2024, Michael Olise joined from Crystal Palace for €53 million; and in 2025, Luis Díaz moved from Liverpool for €70 million. The trio now forms Europe's most feared front line.

• Harry Kane - €95 million from Tottenham Hotspur (2023)
• Michael Olise - €53 million from Crystal Palace (2024)
• Luis Díaz - €70 million from Liverpool (2025)
