Eddie Howe has claimed Anthony Gordon is relishing his first visit to Goodison Park as a Newcastle United player.
A product of Everton’s academy, Gordon left the club to join Newcastle in acrimonious circumstances during the January transfer window. The winger submitted a formal transfer request to force through the move.
However, the England under-21 international is now set to return to Merseyside for the first time on Thursday night. And although Howe wouldn’t discuss the 22-year-old’s Blues departure, he does believe his winger is aware of the kind of reception he is likely to receive from Everton supporters.
