Anthony Gordon secures future at Newcastle with new long-term contract, shuts down transfer rumors

Signed from Everton in January 2023, the 23-year-old has quickly established himself as a key player in Eddie Howe's squad. With an impressive tally of 15 goals and 11 assists in just 74 appearances, he has proven to be a valuable asset on the pitch. His skill and versatility have caught the attention of fans and pundits alike, showcasing his potential for even greater success in the future.

Gordon competed in the Champions League for the first time last season, a campaign where he also made his senior England debut, before going on to be part of the squad that finished as Euro 2024 runners-up.

Speaking about his renewed commitment, Gordon said: "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.

"I'm very happy here, I like living here, the team is very suited to me - and I'm here to win a trophy. The short story is we need to win a trophy.

"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."

Howe said: "I'm delighted Anthony has committed his future to the club. He has grown as a player and as a person during his time at Newcastle United and he has continued to prove just how good he is on the biggest stage.

"He is dedicated to improving himself and the team, and when you add that to the quality of his performances and his incredibly high work-rate, it's clear to see why he has such a special connection with our supporters.

"There's even more to come from Anthony and I'm excited about what's ahead for
him and us."
