‘Pure joy’ - Anthony Gordon drops transfer hint that Newcastle United supporters will love
Anthony Gordon was crowned Newcastle United’s Player of the Season last week and is loving life at St James’ Park
Anthony Gordon is going nowhere after admitting his “love” for St James’ Park and Newcastle United.
The winger was recently crowned the club’s Player of the Season for his stellar performances in 2023-24. Gordon battled through a tricky initial start on Tyneside but has looked like a man reborn in his first full campaign under Eddie Howe.
His time with England for the under-21 Euros last summer proved the turning point. Scooping the Player of the Tournament as the Three Lions stormed to victory laid the foundations for a thrilling season at Newcastle.
Gordon has vindicated his £40million price tag with double figures for goals and assists - putting the Magpies on the cusp of European qualification again. Many scoffed at the transfer fee a year ago but clubs would likely need to pay double that to sign the 23-year-old now.
The former Everton wideman has no intention of leaving Newcastle anytime soon, recently outlining his desire to win trophies in a black-and-white shirt. Speaking after the Magpies’ 1-1 draw with Brighton, Gordon opened up about the “pure joy” of playing at St James’ Park.
“I absolutely love it here - I’ve said that plenty of times,” he told NUFC TV. “I’ve never come to a stadium where I get the feeling of pure joy.
“Every time I pull up to the stadium or even if I’m driving past, it brings me joy. I absolutely love this place. I’ve been in good form (at St James’ Park) but that’s because I’m happy here.”
