Anthony Gordon has signed new long term deal at Newcastle

Anthony Gordon has put an end to any uncertainty regarding his future at Newcastle United by signing a new long-term contract, effectively quelling rumors of a possible exit from St James’ Park. The winger was a target for several clubs, particularly Liverpool, during the summer transfer window, making his decision to stay with Newcastle a significant moment for both his career and the club’s plans.

Since his transfer from Everton in January 2023, the 23-year-old has quickly become an integral part of Eddie Howe’s lineup. His stellar performances have led to 15 goals and 11 assists across 74 appearances, significantly enhancing Newcastle’s attacking strength and aiding their ambitions to compete for top honors, including participation in the Champions League.

Last season was particularly noteworthy for Gordon as he not only debuted in Europe’s top-tier competition but also marked his first appearance for the England senior team. His role in the squad that finished as runners-up in Euro 2024 underscores his growing prominence on both the club and international fronts.

In discussing his renewed dedication to Newcastle, Gordon conveyed his excitement about the club’s positive momentum, asserting, “I just think the club’s in a great place. Since the takeover it’s just been up and up. Me and the gaffer are a perfect match in terms of style of play. I love it here.” His comments indicate a strong affinity for the club and underscore how well he fits into the team’s overall structure and objectives.

Gordon also touched upon his contentment with living in the area, stating, “I’m very happy here, I like living here, the team is very suited to me – and I’m here to win a trophy.” His desire to help secure a trophy for Newcastle resonates with a passionate fanbase that has been longing for success. “Winning a trophy here would be unbelievable because the fans have waited so long. To be part of that team who finally does it is a massive goal of mine,” he concluded. This reflects both his personal ambitions and the collective aspirations shared by players and supporters.
