Anthony Michael Gordon (born 24 February 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays primarily as a winger for Premier League club Newcastle United and the England national team.
[10][11] On 18 January 2020, Gordon made his Premier League debut coming on as a substitute for Bernard in a 1–1 draw with West Ham United.
[12][14] Five days later, he made his debut for Preston, being included in the starting line-up for a 2–1 home league defeat by Rotherham United.
[32] Gordon later expressed he had been disappointed by the curt manner that Everton announced his departure, and stated that he "was a massive part in keeping the club up" the previous season.
[33] On 29 January 2023, Gordon joined Newcastle United on a long-term contract, having submitted a formal transfer request to previous club Everton.
[36] On 4 March, Gordon was named in the starting line-up for the first time in a 2–0 loss to Manchester City, but was taken off in the 62nd minute,[37] and an ankle injury would see him miss the next two matches.
[40] Expecting a hostile reception upon his return to Goodison Park on 27 April,[41] his contribution ended up being minimal, with the game already won as Newcastle were 4–1 up.
[47] Having represented his country at U18 and U19 level, Gordon made his debut for the England under-20s during a 2–0 victory over Wales at St George's Park on 13 October 2020.
[62] On 17 November 2024, Gordon scored his first senior international goal in a 5–0 UEFA Nations League victory against the Republic of Ireland.
[64][65] Gordon has spoken about the importance of books in driving his success, with The Art of Winning by former New Zealand rugby player Dan Carter cited as one of his favourites.
