Anthony Gordon has vowed to increase his goal and assist tally as he looks to provide a spark in front of goal for Newcastle United. The £40m addition certainly got fans off their seats in the 1-1 draw with West Ham United after impressing off the bench at St James' Park.
There are calls for Gordon to be thrown in from the outset against Bournemouth with Newcastle struggling to turn draws into wins of late. Eddie Howe's men have only scored two goals in their last five Premier League outings as Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak and Allan Saint-Maximin try to re-find their goalscoring form.
Gordon admits he wasn't prolific while at Everton but believes he is ready to thrive in this Newcastle side. "Goals and assists are where I want to excel at," Gordon said during an interview for Newcastle's official matchday programme.
