He's not on Diaz's level.

And he's what, four years younger? He's that type of lad.“But from a footballing perspective, as a player, I'm trying to look at it from his point of view other than the financial gain, you're going to be sitting on the bench.”Gordon is reported to be Bayern’s main target this summer, although the Bundesliga club is still a long way off Newcastle’s valuation.BILD’s Bayern Munich reporter Heiko Niederrer has told Chronicle Live that the Magpies want around $94 million (€80M), but Bayern only values him at $70 million (€60M).
