Key Takeaways
- Bayern Munich view Mika Godts as a cheaper option to Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon
- The 20-year-old Belgian has scored 16 goals and provided 11 assists in 29 league matches this season
- Manchester United and Manchester City are also monitoring the Ajax forward
According to Transferfeed, Bayern Munich have added Ajax Amsterdam forward Mika Godts to their transfer shortlist. The Bundesliga giants see the 20-year-old Belgian as a realistic alternative to Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
Godts has performed very well in the Eredivisie this season. The young attacker has scored 16 goals and provided 11 assists in 29 league matches. His displays have caught the eye of several big European clubs.
The German champions originally wanted to sign Gordon from Newcastle. However, the England international would cost a lot of money. This has pushed Bayern to look for cheaper options in the market.
Reports suggest Ajax would ask for approximately €25 million for Godts. This price is much lower than what Newcastle want for Gordon. The Belgian also has great potential to improve because he is still young.
Premier League rivals Manchester United and Manchester City have also shown interest in the player. Both clubs have watched him closely throughout the season.
