Howe confirms Newcastle will keep Anthony Gordon this summer

Speaking to the press, the English coach revealed that Newcastle will do everything to keep Anthony Gordon this summer, who was also tipped for a big role with the Toon next season, having been linked w🦩ith a move to Liveꦯrpool all summer.

Howe said on Gordon’s future at Newcastle: “I’d welcome Anthony back with three arms if I had them. He’s an integral part of what we’re doing. We’ve had no conversations over the summer where it hಌa🔥s been fractious or negative.

“He’s always been the Anthony Gordon who has given absolutely everything to Newcastle and I want to make that clear to all our supporters. Anthony needs a bit of a break but by the time he comes back, he’ll be r💞eady to go.

“He’s such an important player for us. We didn’t want to lose anybody. Why would we want to lose our best players? We fought really hard ꦺto make the right decisions but in those last few weeks it was very, very difficult.”

Gordon could be set for his best year yet at Newcastle

Gordon was easily one of the most entertaining players to watch in the Premier League last season, and there’s a real chance that the attacker could be set for his year yet♈ at Newcastle in the upcoming campaign.

The fo♋rmer Everton star has grown more and more into a top Premier League attacker with each passing year, and with Newcastle keen to finish in Europe next season, Gordon could hit a new level that nobody has seen y꧙et from the winger.

Indeed, Gordon staying at Newcastle is nothing short of big for the Magꦡpies, and the England internation𒁏al will want to prove what he’s capable of in the new season later this summer.
