Anthony Gordon has been backed to push his way into Newcastle United's first-team this coming season after a mixed first six months with the club. The Magpies pushed the boat out to sign the youngster from Everton in the January transfer window, but the 22-year-old is yet to break into the starting XI on a regular basis.
The forward scored his first goal for the club in the 1-1 draw at Chelsea on the final day of the Premier League season, and has starred for England Under-21s at this summer's European Championships. Gordon was always a signing for the future, and former Newcastle striker Louis Saha has backed him to develop further under Eddie Howe at St James' Park, and made a big impact this coming campaign.
“Anthony Gordon can force his way into Newcastle team next season," Saha told Paddy Power. "Joining a club in the January transfer window is always difficult. Mentally, you have been waiting for the transfer and you also have to try to fit in - it can take time to adjust physically.
