A New Magpie in Fine Form
Anthony Gordon’s recent performances for Newcastle United have not gone unnoticed, with the young attacker showing signs of becoming a pivotal figure for the Magpies. Since his significant move from Everton, Gordon’s contributions on the field have sparked discussions about his potential to parallel the impact of teammate Alexander Isak.
Isak’s Golden Boot Chase and Gordon’s Rise
While Isak continues to lead the charge for the Premier League Golden Boot, having notched up 19 league goals after a standout performance against Sheffield United, Gordon is quickly establishing himself as a key player. His impressive tally of 11 goals and 10 assists across all competitions has made him a standout addition to Eddie Howe’s side.
McAvennie’s Praise for Gordon’s Attitude and Talent
Former footballer Frank McAvennie has been vocal in his praise for Gordon, commending his attitude and form since the January transfer. McAvennie’s endorsement comes with a prediction that Gordon possesses the qualities necessary to reach the heights of Isak’s success at Newcastle.
Gordon’s Potential Star Quality
“I think he could become a star like Isak, he could be just as good, that’s how highly I rate him,” McAvennie expressed. His confidence in Gordon’s ability is based on recent performances where the young star demonstrated his tenacity and skill, particularly in a match against Tottenham where he “ripped them apart.”
From Everton to Newcastle: A Fiery Transition
Despite the risks associated with club transfers, Gordon’s move appears to be a case where the change has fueled his career. McAvennie points out that while some players struggle after transfers, citing Chelsea as an example, Gordon’s trajectory since leaving Everton has been nothing but upward. Now thriving at Newcastle, he seems to have found his groove, playing “wonderful football” and showing no desire to leave his newfound home.
The Verdict on Gordon’s Future with the Magpies
As Newcastle United continue their campaign, all eyes will be on Anthony Gordon to see if he can maintain his form and perhaps even challenge Isak as the club’s top scorer. With the backing of former pros and fans alike, Gordon’s future at Newcastle looks bright, and the club’s supporters can expect more exciting displays from their latest star.
