Anthony Gordon was quick to praise a “special” Newcastle United welcome after being unveiled in front of Magpies supporters on Tuesday evening. “Everyone has been so welcoming. Can’t wait to play in front of you all,” he said on social media.
However, not all fans are convinced by his arrival. In fact, ahead of the Magpies clinching his £45m signing, they were almost split down the middle as to whether Eddie Howe should move for the Everton winger.
Voting via ChronicleLive's Swerve or Swoop tool, 50.3% of fans said the club should swoop for the 21-year-old, with 49.7% opting to swerve him. The Magpies fans’ voting perhaps reflected the lack of quality additions available in the January window, with only Flamengo’s Matheus Franca gaining much support from respondents.
