Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon is relishing his new position as a central striker as the goals continue to flow during England's Under-21 European Championship campaign. The Magpies attacker has been used through the middle by U21 boss Lee Carsley in the tournament so far and has repaid the decision with two goals and an assist in four games.
Gordon scored the only goal of the game on Sunday as England progressed to the semi-final with a win over Portugal. Newcastle fans are now speculating as to whether Eddie Howe will use 22-year-old in a similar role when club football returns later this summer.
Gordon is certainly enjoying his new role and the experience that comes with it and believes it may even be his best position. “It’s very different,” said the Newcastle star.
