Eddie Howe hails 'great bit of business' after Newcastle United trigger £28m deal

Newcastle United has triggered a £28 million release clause to sign Anthony Gordon from Everton

The 21-year-old winger has been a long-term target for the Magpies, and Howe is delighted to have finally secured his services.

“Anthony is a great addition to our squad,” Howe said. “He’s a young, talented player with a lot of potential. He’s also a hard worker and a good character. I’m sure he’ll be a success at Newcastle United.”

Gordon is a product of the Everton academy and has made over 60 appearances for the first team.

He has also been capped by England at Under-21 level.

Gordon is a versatile player who can play on either wing or as a central striker.

He is known for his pace, dribbling skills, and eye for goal.

Gordon’s arrival is a major boost for Newcastle United, who are looking to build on their impressive start to the season.

The Magpies are currently fourth in the Premier League, and they will be hoping to challenge for a Champions League place this season.

Gordon is expected to make his debut for Newcastle United in their next match, which is against West Ham United on Saturday.
