'I feel bad' - What Anthony Gordon told Nick Pope about leaving Everton in behind-the-scenes Newcastle footage

Behind-the-scenes footage has shown Anthony Gordon admitting he 'feels bad' about leaving Everton for Newcastle United.

The 21-year-old completed his move to the North East this weekend, which has seen the Blues recoup a £40million upfront fee plus £5m in add-ons. Gordon failed to show up for three days of first-team training last week as he pushed for a move, as well handing in a formal transfer request to the club.

Such developments came on the back of a summer of speculation involving the youngster, with Chelsea and Tottenham two other Premier League sides who were strongly linked. The former saw a bid in excess of £40m knocked back by the Blues, with Frank Lampard reluctant to lose a key attacking option.
