Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon is not shying away from a volatile first return to Everton - judging by his latest social media post. The January signing left Goodison Park in acrimonious circumstances after sections of the Toffees fanbase turned on the academy graduate.
Gordon enjoyed a breakthrough season last term under Frank Lampard, helping his boyhood club pull clear of relegation danger in the closing weeks. However, summer transfer interest from Chelsea and Newcastle was followed by an indifferent start to the season from the England youth international.
Gordon lost his place in the starting eleven in his final months on Merseyside, and was chased down the street by furious fans as he drove away from the stadium following a dismal home defeat to Southampton in January. Little over a fortnight later, the 22-year-old was unveiled as Newcastle's first mid-season arrival in a move worth up to £45 million.
