Newcastle have confirmed the signing of Anthony Gordon from Everton in a deal worth around £45million.
The 21-year-old has signed a long-term contract at St James' Park and becomes the Magpies' first signing of the January window. However, it takes the Magpies' spending to almost £250m since the Saudi-based firm took over from Mike Ashley in October 2021, with Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak the two previous biggest arrivals.
Gordon has now become the Magpies' second most expensive signing after failing to turn up to three Everton training sessions this week in an attempt to force a transfer. Gordon was spotted at the Metro Centre shopping centre in Newcastle on Saturday and took some photos with fans before his move was confirmed on Sunday afternoon.
