Newcastle United have announced that forward Anthony Gordon has signed a new long-term contract at the club.
The 23-year-old joined Newcastle from Everton in January 2023 and has made 73 appearances in all competitions, scoring 15 goals.
"I just think the club's in a great place. Since the takeover it's just been up and up. Me and the gaffer are a perfect match in terms of style of play. I love it here,” Gordon told the club’s official website.

"I'm very happy here, I like living here, the team is very suited to me - and I'm here to win a trophy. The short story is we need to win a trophy.
"Winning a trophy here would be unbelievable because the fans have waited so long. To be part of that team who finally does it is a massive goal of mine.
"We [my family and I] have always felt settled because Geordies are so easy-going and so welcoming, very easy to speak to and always want the best for you. It's a very easy place to come and live, I think. I feel very connected to everyone - team-mates, fans and everyone involved."
Gordon's performances in 2023/24 earned him Newcastle's Player of the Season award, while he was also part of the England squad that reached the final of UEFA EURO 2024.
His first match following his new deal will be against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this Sunday.
