England forward, Anthony Gordon has committed his future to Newcastle United with a new long-term contract.
Gordon joined Eddie Howe’s Magpies in January 2023 from Everton, and has since gone on to score 15 goals in 73 appearances.
Amidst rumours of a move to Liverpool in the summer, Gordon has since decided to sign a new contract at St James’ Park feeling happy at his performances under Howe.
“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.”
Gordon also praised Newcastle fans as he continued: “We (my family and I) have always felt settled because Geordies are so easy-going and so welcoming, very easy to speak to and always want the best for you.
“It’s a very easy place to come and live, I think. I feel very connected to everyone – teammates, fans and everyone involved.”
Howe is “delighted” to retain Gordon who he feels has developed on and off the pitch, evidenced by his move from England Under-23s to the senior squad this year, with Gordon having now earned seven caps for the Three Lions.
“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.”
