Anthony Gordon back ‘on the radar’ for Newcastle
Newcastle have renewed their interest in Everton’s Anthony Gordon, according to The Chronicle.
This comes after Newcastle’s bids for James Maddison were rejected by Leicester. Gordon is one among a long list of forwards to be linked with Newcastle this summer.
Newcastle reportedly had a £35 million bid for Gordon rejected earlier in the transfer window. Frank Lampard had made it clear that the 21-year-old forward is a core member of Everton’s team and is not for sale. This followed the departure of Everton’s star striker Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur.
Recent injuries to centre-backs Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina have sparked speculation that Everton could seek reinforcements. The potentially lucrative sale of Gordon would be one way for the Toffees financing such a move.
Eddie Howe has been open about his desire to add attacking firepower to his squad. “We’re trying to bring an attacker in,” he told NUFC TV recently.
He continued to hint it the club are after a big signing: “We’re trying to bring in quality rather than numbers.”
After Newcastle’s £50 million move for Maddison was rejected, a return for Gordon is one of a number of options.
Long term link Lucas Paqueta and fellow Ligue 1 forward Bamba Dieng are both players Newcastle are ready to bid for according to 90min.
Similarly, Newcastle could still improve on their previous bid for James Maddison.
While attacking signings have proved a hurdle for Newcastle, the club still have plenty of time and options in the transfer market.

Newcastle United loanee Yankuba Minteh has scored his first competitive goal for Feyenoord, scoring in Sunday’s 5-1 win over FC Utrecht.
After starting in their 6-1 win over Almere City last weekend, the Gambian teenager came off the bench and scored in stoppage time, rounding the goalkeeper and finishing calmly to seal another convincing victory for the Dutch champions.
This rounds off a positive few weeks for the 19-year-old winger, who was our first summer signing after sealing a £6m move from Danish side Odense.
Last month he helped spark a comeback draw away to local rivals Sparta Rotterdam, before starting his first Eredivisie game against Almere. Now, he’s come off the bench and bagged his first goal for the club.
