Anthony Gordon sets ambitious Newcastle goal after signing new contract

Anthony Gordon has committed his future to Newcastle United after he was linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

The club announced on Tuesday that the winger has signed a new long-term contract with the Magpies. He moved to St James’ Park from Everton in a deal worth up to £45 million in January 2023.

Gordon, who has registered 15 goals and 11 assists in 74 appearances for Newcastle, is not hiding his ambition after signing his new deal, revealing his ultimate goal is to win a trophy with the Geordie outfit.

“I just think the club’s in a great place,” he said. “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.

“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.”

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe says he is “excited” about Gordon’s new deal and what the future holds for the player and the club.

“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.”
