The Englishman defends his teammate.
He believes the criticism is unfounded.
Details: 24-year-old Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon reacted to comments from Bayern Munich board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who criticized Newcastle for signing 23-year-old Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade for €75 million:
“I don’t understand why someone would comment on a player who is not part of their club. It seems a bit silly, especially since the player has started the season very well. If he had started poorly, maybe that would be different, but he has scored three goals in four matches, so it’s a rather odd comment.” Gordon said.
Additionally, Bayern had attempted to sign Woltemade but failed in their negotiations, after which the player joined Newcastle.
Nick Woltemade transferred to Newcastle this summer from Stuttgart for €75 million. The young German has made 6 appearances for the team, scoring 3 goals.
Reminder: Nick Woltemade makes Newcastle history after dominating Union in the Champions League.
