Anthony Gordon (21, Everton), known as an avid fan of Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham Hotspur), has raised the possibility of heading to Newcastle United.
Gordon is known as ‘SON Hope’ to Korean soccer fans, saying that he was “the best player ever” at the time when Son Heung-min was raising his stock price. At one time, rumors of a transfer to Tottenham circulated, but the destination is gradually taking shape.
England’s Sky Sports reported on the 25th, “Newcastle is accelerating the recruitment of England U-21 national striker Gordon.” 바카라
Gordon turned pro in December 2017 and gradually increased his playing time each season. He returned to Everton last season after spending half a season on loan at Preston for the 2020/2021 season Championship (Part 2). He appeared in 35 league games, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists. This season, he changed to the number 10, which symbolizes the ace, and scored 3 goals in 16 official matches.
According to the media, Chelsea offered £60 million (91.2 billion won) for Gordon in the transfer market last summer, but Everton rejected the sale.
Everton are currently looking for a replacement for sacked manager Frank Lampard. He plans to sell Gordon to another team and use part of the transfer fee to reinforce the new manager’s desire.
Newcastle have begun full-fledged negotiations for the scout of Gordon. On the 24th, it was reported that Newcastle made their first scout offer to Everton.
This winter Newcastle released Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest). As a result, they are keen to recruit Gordon, who can play a variety of positions in the attack. Newcastle management are confident of signing Gordon in this winter transfer window.
Everton are aware that summer and circumstances have changed. It is expected to sell when an offer of £40m arrives.
The fact that Gordon did not show up for team training on the 24th is also one of the reasons that energizes the transfer.
