Anthony Gordon is a big talent
In our view, Anthony Gordon is one of the best young players out there and is an asset for Newcastle.
Gordon could not make an immediate impact at Newcastle after joining from Everton in January 2023, but he is coming into his own now at St. James’ Park.
The winger is scoring goals, creating chances for his teammates, and is a force to be reckoned with in attack.
We believe that Gordon is a gem.
