    Newcastle United have confirmed and completed the signing of Everton winger Anthony Gordon.

    To complete the deal, the Magpies have agreed to pay an initial £40 million plus an additional £5 million in add-ons for Gordon.

    “Since I heard of the interest, I was always convinced Newcastle were for me,” said Gordon, who has signed a ‘long-term contract’ at St James’ Park.

    “I think the fan base and the city really suits me as a person, the way the team are playing under the gaffer at the minute really suits me, and the club just look like they’re heading in the right direction.

    “I feel like it’s a really big step. People haven’t seen what I’m capable of yet. I think under the gaffer, and the way the club’s going, I can really excel here.”

    Manager Eddie Howe added: “I’m delighted to sign Anthony – he’s a top, top talent.“I’m really excited to work with him, to develop him, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do in a Newcastle shirt.”

    Following the arrival of Australian sensation Garang Kuol, Gordon is Newcastle’s second signing of the winter. However, the Magpies have also agreed to pay £3 million to sign West Ham right-back Harrison Ashby, so Gordon is not anticipated to be the last.
