Anthony Gordon has excelled for Newcastle this season and now has a place in England's Euro 2024 squad in his sights
It is January 2023 and Newcastle United are looking to sign an attacking player to boost their push for a return to the Champions League after 20 years away. The most prominent name in recruitment meetings is that of Anthony Gordon.
Neil Dewsnip, now director of football at Plymouth Argyle, signed an 11-year-old Gordon when he was head coach of Everton’s academy, before working more closely with him as manager of England Under-18s. “We always thought he’d be a big lad, which he is. We knew he’d be quick, and he’s rapid,” the coach continues. “It’s about looking at the boy and trying to see the man down the road. It is all credit to Anthony - he’s developed himself.”
Gordon’s early days at Everton somewhat mirror his recent change of fortunes at Newcastle. He’s never been afraid to make his feelings known to staff, but always understood how to turn a setback into a route for progress after a six-month spell at Preston North End in 2021. “I stay out all the time because I feel like it has ended too quickly and I’m not ready to go in," said Gordon.
