Newxastle United goalscoring legend Alan Shearer is a big fan of Newcastle United target Anthony Gordon - judging by his comments back in March. ChronicleLive understands discussions have taken place between the Magpies and Everton over a potential £35million move.
The winger enjoyed a fine breakthrough season at Goodison Park despite a difficult campaign overall for the Toffees, placing third - behind Richarlison and Jordan Pickford - in the Liverpool Echo’s player of the season poll. Reaction has been mixed among Toon supporters about whether Gordon would be a good fit on Tyneside.
Critics have concerns over the inflated price tag for a player who only has one full season of professional football under his belt. However, he has already showcased his talents on the international stage, bagging four goals in seven appearances for England U21s.
