England winger, Anthony Gordon signs new deal with Newcastle United

England winger Anthony Gordon has expressed his ambition to win a trophy with Newcastle United after signing a long-term contract on Tuesday.

Gordon, who joined the Magpies from Everton in January 2023, has since made 74 appearances, contributing 15 goals and 11 assists.

The 23-year-old’s standout performances earned him a debut with the England national team last season and secured his place in the Euro 2024 squad.

Now, Gordon is focused on helping Newcastle end their trophy drought, with their last major domestic triumph being the 1955 FA Cup and their last European success in the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.

With Eddie Howe’s side steadily progressing, Gordon is determined to play a key role in bringing long-awaited silverware back to St. James’ Park.

“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,” Gordon said.

“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 added: “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.”
