“Aggressive” Anthony Gordon claims that he was forced to do anything against his will by Everton supporters.

Anthony Gordon’s departure from Everton has left a bitter taste for everyone involved, as the circumstances surrounding his exit were less than ideal.

The 23-year-old winger’s desire to move to the North East strained relations, although it’s understood that the transfer was ultimately beneficial for all parties, especially considering the issues he

faced with the fanbase towards the end of his tenure at Goodison Park.

In a recent interview with The Daily Mail’s Craig Hope, Gordon attributed his behavior at Everton to the “aggressive” atmosphere he perceived in the Scouse environment.

He felt compelled to adopt an antagonistic role when playing at Goodison Park, which he believes impacted his development.

Since joining St James’ Park, Gordon feels a sense of security and has grown into his identity as a player. He is determined to change perceptions and focus on his football.

While Gordon’s comments may be viewed as excuses for his past conduct, his move to

Newcastle United has proven fruitful.

He’s thriving on the pitch and even vying for a spot in the England squad for the European Championships.

For Everton, Gordon’s departure has resulted in a decent transfer fee and

relieved them of a player who no longer wished to stay at the club.
