Anthony Gordon names the English winger he'd love Newcastle United to sign.

Anthony Gordon has named Cole Palmer as the England teammate he’d most like Newcastle United to sign.

Palmer has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers since joining Chelsea from Manchester City for £40million 18 months ago.

In 73 appearances, the 22-year-old has scored 39 goals and provided 21 assists and, like Gordon, played his way into the England senior set-up.

Both players were called up to the squad for Euro 2024, where Palmer scored in the 2-1 defeat to Spain in the final. However, the pair’s greatest achievement arguably came a year earlier by winning the U21s European Championship.

In a feature interview with That’s Football, Gordon was asked the one England teammate he’d love to bring to Newcastle.

The 23-year-old, of course, had plenty of players to choose from but opted for Palmer, despite admitting he probably wouldn’t fit Newcastle’s style of play.

“I’m thinking about this logically because I don’t want to displace anyone,” said Gordon. “Right now I’d probably go for Cole [Palmer]. I don’t think he’d suit our style of play at all. We have a pressing style of play, but his quality and what he’s doing at the minute, I’d probably pick Cole.”

Newcastle first tried to sign Palmer on loan in January 2022 but saw their offer rejected by Man City. Eighteen months later, the winger completed a permanent move to Stamford Bridge.

As a recognised right winger, Palmer would undoubtedly be a signing Eddie Howe would love to make but that is unlikely for a number of reasons, namely because the player recently penned a new long-term contract at Chelsea.
