Newcastle can give Everton what they want with Anthony Gordon transfer after head was 'turned'

Newcastle United have revived their interest in Anthony Gordon but it looks like a prospective January transfer could go down to the wire. The Everton forward has returned to training with reports suggesting Sean Dyche is set to be appointed as Frank Lampard's replacement.

Gordon's future has become something of a saga in recent weeks, with the young forward the target of fan protests following the home defeat to fellow strugglers Southampton. The 21-year-old was the subject of interest from Chelsea and the Magpies in the summer, and is said to be keen on a switch to St James' Park before Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Eddie Howe is keen for Newcastle to sign a forward following the surprising mid-season exit of Chris Wood, with the head coach warning his squad could be left 'dangerously short'. Gordon returned to Finch Farm after a three-day absence on Friday, with talks over his future expected to be held with Dyche as the expected new manager takes stock of his squad.
