Anthony Gordon has officially signed a new long-term contract at Newcastle United.

The England international signed a three-and-a-half year deal upon his arrival from Everton in January 2023 and he has now extended his stay at St James’ Park.

The exact length of Gordon’s new contract hasn’t been disclosed by Newcastle, but he has committed his long-term future to the club after an impressive start to life under Eddie Howe.

The 23-year-old has 15 goals and 11 assists in 74 appearances for Newcastle, while he won the club’s Player of the Season award last campaign.

Furthermore, his form since joining the club earned him an inclusion in England’s squad for the 2024 European Championship, and Gordon now has seven senior caps for the Three Lions.

FootballTransfers exclusively revealed that Gordon had signed an extension at Newcastle earlier this month and we understand that he is now the highest-paid player at the club.

“I’m very happy here, I like living here, the team is very suited to me – and I’m here to win a trophy. The short story is we need to win a trophy.

“Winning a trophy here would be unbelievable because the fans have waited so long. To be part of that team who finally does it is a massive goal of mine.

“We (my family and I) have always felt settled because Geordies are so easy-going and so welcoming, very easy to speak to and always want the best for you.

“It’s a very easy place to come and live, I think. I feel very connected to everyone – teammates, fans and everyone involved.”
