Everton must be laughing over what Anthony Gordon’s agent has done at Newcastle

Everton supporters are no strangers to Anthony Gordon’s tactics in forcing a transfer exit.

Just years on from his controversial departure from Everton, the winger is working on how to escape Newcastle United.

Everton hold a 15 per cent sell-on clause with Gordon as Newcastle look to move on the winger for a fee in the region of £80m.

Does Kevin Thelwell deserve more credit for this? 👏

We tried to tell them… 🤷‍♂️

History appears to be repeating itself as details of Gordon and his camp manufacturing a summer move have now surfaced.

Everton can sit back and enjoy Anthony Gordon’s Newcastle drama

Bayern Munich have made Gordon their top target ahead of the summer transfer window opening.

Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg has now claimed that Gordon’s agent has been in discussion with the Bundesliga giants for months.

Don’t hold back, let us know who you want gone this summer 👋

The reporter also believes that Vincent Kompany has already given the green light to sign Gordon, if a deal can be struck.

It is only three years on from Gordon’s Merseyside departure and history is already repeating itself.

Everton fans tried to warn Newcastle when the winger made the move to Tyneside back in 2023, but they would not listen.

Gordon wanted to leave Everton for a team on the rise, instead he now finds himself considerably adrift of the Blues with the Magpies.

With the Toffees showing the potential to secure European qualification in the final four games of the season, supporters can sit back and enjoy this transfer saga as it unfolds on Tyneside.

Players are no longer forcing an exit from Everton

An awful lot has changed since The Friedkin Group were handed the keys on Merseyside.

The Friedkins wanted to make a statement signing for Everton last summer and they certainly proved that with Jack Grealish.

Not for a long time have the Blues been able to attract a player of that calibre. It has now led to players like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall choosing Everton as his next club.

Everton have now become a destination rather than a sinking ship in which players look for the nearest exit.

Another big summer lies ahead of the club in the transfer window, but they can sit back and enjoy their progress as they watch Gordon’s saga unfold at Newcastle.
