Anthony Gordon's honest England U21 admission should fill Newcastle United with hope

Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon believes a decent run of games at the Under-21 European Championships will help him impress for the Magpies next season. The winger hasn't enjoyed the brightest of starts to his career on Tyneside but is currently flourishing for England's U21 side in Georgia and Romania this summer.

Gordon helped himself to an assist and a disallowed goal in the opening game against the Czech Republic before finding the net against Israel over the weekend. The £40m Newcastle signing is currently being used as a central striker under international boss Lee Carsley and looks at home in the role.

The St James' Park faithful are hoping Gordon can transfer his international form to club duty when the new season rolls back around and the 22-year-old is confident his current run will help him once he returns to Tyneside.
