Anthony Gordon: Newcastle United forward signs long-term contract with Premier League club - 'I'm here to win a trophy'

Anthony Gordon has signed a new long-term contract with Newcastle United, it was announced on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old arrived on Tyneside from Everton in January 2023, and has scored 15 goals in 74 appearances for the club to date.

Gordon broke into the England senior team during his time on Tyneside, and was part of Gareth Southgate's squad which reached the Euro 2024 final last summer.

He told the club website: "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.

"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 – team-mates, fans and everyone involved."

Head coach Eddie 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.

"There's even more to come from Anthony, and I'm excited about what's ahead for him and us."

In total, Gordon has made 124 Premier League appearances, scoring 21 goals and registering 13 assists across his spells with Everton and Newcastle.

He has earned seven caps for England and made his debut in a 1-0 defeat to Brazil on March 23, 2024.

He also tasted success at youth international level, and was part of Lee Carsley's squad which won the Under-21 European Championship last year.
