Cash-strapped Everton would be set for a financial windfall if their former winger Anthony Gordon made a sensational transfer return to his home city and joined Liverpool.

The ECHO understands that Newcastle United were ready to sell Gordon to Liverpool as the Magpies strive to comply with PSR but although talks broke down, there is a small chance of revival.



Becoming the first Newcastle United player to score 10 goals and provide 10 assists in a season since Ruel Fox in 1994/95, Gordon has been named the Magpies' Player of the Year and having been named Player of the Tournament at last summer’s UEFA European Under-21 Championship, he is in Gareth Southgate’s squad currently competing in the senior European Championships in Germany where he’s had a brief cameo as an 89th minute substitute in England’s goalless draw against Slovenia in their final group game but caught the eye for the facial injuries he’s picked up after being “thrown 10 feet in the air” when falling off an electric bike.

The statement read: “Anthony Gordon has joined Newcastle United for an undisclosed fee.

He went on to make 78 first-team appearances, scoring seven goals.”

However, while there appeared to be little room for sentiment from Goodison Park chiefs after Gordon was absent from Finch Farm training sessions in his final week at the club, the ECHO understands that Everton do have a sell-on clause so they would be in line to receive a significant financial bonus where he to complete a big money move to Liverpool or anyone else for that matter.

Although Gordon joined Everton as an 11-year-old, he was a boyhood Kopite and when speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, he admitted: “Steven Gerrard was my football hero growing up.
