Anthony Gordon proved the doubters wrong with his performances up front for England under-21s, and it will offer Eddie Howe and Newcastle United an extra dimension this season.
Gordon joined Newcastle during the January transfer window from Everton and has largely been used of the left-wing for the Magpies.
Injuries and the form of team-mates Miguel Almiron, Jacob Murphy and Allan Saint-Maximin saw his opportunities limited but a goal in the final day draw at Chelsea felt like a turning point for the 22-year-old.
