Former Everton forward Anthony Gordon has claimed that he has been left hurt by the lack of appreciation he was shown by his childhood club after leaving Goodison Park in January.
The 22-year-old played a big part in helping the Blues beat relegation season but after coming close to leaving the club in the summer for Chelsea, he eventually joined Newcastle United in the winter transfer window for an initial fee of £40m.
Gordon has made four appearances for the Magpies since his big-money move but is yet to taste victory. And the Everton Academy graduate has now revealed how difficult it was to leave his boyhood club in far from ideal circumstances.
