Although Anthony Gordon was signed by Newcastle United from Everton in January of last year, the Magpies’
transfer window has changed significantly since then. Eddie Howe acknowledged that Newcastle United does not
have many Anthony Gordons available this month after the Magpies exploited Everton’s “financial issues” in the past.
It will soon be one year to the day that Newcastle acquired Gordon in a potentially £45 million move from Everton.
Although Gordon had been a long-term target—Howe having followed him back to his loan spell at Preston North
End—there was also some opportunism in the timing of this mid-season transfer, considering Everton’s financial difficulties.
Indeed, Everton manager Sean Dyche disclosed last week that the team would ‘not ordinarily’ have sold young
players like Gordon, but the Toffees did so ‘to make sure the money was in’ for the deadlines they were set, a point that Howe essentially supported.
