Don Hutchison says ex-Everton star Anthony Gordon is now proving to be a ‘bargain’ for Newcastle United.

Last January, the Everton academy product secured a £45 million transfer (Sky Sports) to St James’ Park, with the winger initially

struggling to settle in.

But it has been a different story this season, with Anthony Gordon helping Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United knock Manchester City out

of the EFL Cup on Wednesday night and Don Hutchison claiming on Twitter that the 22-year-old is now a ‘bargain’.

After helping the England U21s win the European Championships in the summer, the all-action forward has now taken that form onto

the Premier League stage.

From his six Premier League games, he has two goals and two assists, as well as making his Champions League debut at the San Siro.

Anthony Gordon might have left Everton in controversial circumstances, but he is now starting to find his feet in his new home.

“Totally changed the game when he came on,” said Hutchison about Newcastle’s win over Man City. “Gordon looks like a bargain.”

Can Gordon earn an England call?

If Everton were clever enough, they would have put something in Gordon’s contract to Newcastle that allows them to get a few millions

if he gets an England call-up.

Given the winger’s performances for the U21s, his early form this season and the fact that he is playing in the Champions League, then

it opens that door.

And with Euro 2024 around the corner, he is one name to watch out for, in terms of making a late surge into the England senior squad.
