We hope that Anthony Gordon will be announced today or tomorrow as Newcastle’s second singing of this January transfer window which slams shut next Tuesday night.
Here’s a look at all the goals, he scored for Everton last year.

I have an update on what's happening with my treatment for prostate cancer.
Last week, my oncologist called me late in the day and said he thought it was best to terminate my treatment with radium 223 dichloride because it was having such a negative effect on my health - specifically my digestive system.
I had completed 3 of the planned 6 infusions.
They had looked at the bone scans and three CAT scans I had early last week, and they showed no signs of the cancer spread being slowed or stopped: in fact, it was continuing to spread and my PSA account continued to rise.
The only treatment left now is to go back and have another bout of chemotherapy with docetaxel being the medication used.
I understand this will be a 7-month job with 10 sessions 3 weeks apart - almost double my first chemo treatment in Apil 2017, when I has 6 treatmnts.
The problem I have is that I'm in a very poor physical state right now, due to my digestive system being basically torn apart by the radium 223.
The radium 223 has leaked into my digestive system and caused me to have severe diarrhea, nausea, and heartburn, and it was (is) very serious.
They said it was too dangerous to proceed with the radium 223 treatment, with little benefit being shown.
I am also suffering from severe exhaustion, basically, because I have zero testosterone, and all the treatments I've had for the cancer, have further lessened the energy available to me.
It reminds me of the saying that if cancer doesn’t kill you - the treatment will (laugh).
It will probably take up to 8 weeks to get back to a physical state where I can start chemotherapy, and that's where I am now, but the cancer continues to spread in the bones.
I've also been put in touch with the dietitian from UNC Healthcare, who will help me get back my health - she is very helpful.
So that's where it stands it's been quite a journey over 12 years and I think I've had almost every treatment available.
It has really taken a toll on my body and on my energy, but that's where it stands and obviously, I'll do the best I can in the upcoming months with chemo and hope I can get through it.
It is as it is - and another challenge in life.

Comment #9Terrific value, potential is immense with right people around him, going to be a Super star.
Even Everton must think so as there’s a sell on clause in his contract.

Comment #15When you consider players Ashworth has identified and brought to Brighton, the increase in their value had been astronomical. So if he feels Gordon is worth £45m odd, then it’s really difficult to disagree with to be honest.
With a track record as good as Ashworths, combined with the signings we’ve made since new ownership, I trust their valuation of players 100%.

Anthony Gordon has now passed his Newcastle medical
The 21-year-old is now set to be announced as Newcastle United’s second highest transfer of all time — arriving from Everton in a £40m+£5m deal.

BREAKING Newcastle are pushing to sign 26 year old James Maddison this month. Leicester don’t want to sell but are aware Newcastle have the funds. This deal will be one to watch before the deadline. NUFC will come back in summer if they can’t complete this window #maddison

Comment #21If they delay his announcement it might ve because they’re not signing anyone else and they will anounce Gordon when the window is closing.
They always seem to do this, just so they habe somone to announce on the final day.
If we see him announced tonight or tomorrow then it might mean there’s more on the way.

Comment #22Not interested in the lads toffee goals. Moving on.
If we can buy a player of Maddison’s quality for the 10 slot we can go toe to toe with anybody. Max Lobby and Willock would be quality back up.
I think it’s too late to buy Maddison because it screws Leicester to buy a replacement. A possibility is Max to Inter to part fund Madders. But that has to be happening now. You cannot start that process on Monday. Who would Leicester buy and they will not want to sell best player in relegation scrap without a replacement.
A full back can wait til summet

Stated on Soccer Saturday,
“when Newcastle claimed that semi final 2nd leg tickets were sold out, there was still 35,000 in the queue”.

Comment #26That’s why extending the ground to 62k is not the right option.
These guys have bottomless pockets and we should build a 75/80k stadium 20 mins walk on the Moor. It will piss off Jesmond folk but it’s called progress. Stadium is a better view than open countryside

Comment #28Bob
Maybe.
I was full on Maddrrs last year but his injuries do worry me.
But they do need to sell him as he had I thin 18 months contract left and is 27? He is getting a bit oldish for big money.
Gordon will learn a load here. Farrago engine and great presser and fast and good driibbler. His finishing and final ball need work but he would cost 100 million if he was the complete package. That package might take another 2 years

Comment #33Magic I’ve no idea why you can call this a “magnificent” window ,if we only but one player who may not be a definite starter.
Is he overpriced?yes, a little overpriced in my opinion, maybe 5mill. Same with Isak. Marginal. A few journalists thought same.he only had 3 goals last season. That said, he’s a class player. And a brilliant passer.

Comment #36Gordon will be an incredible signing.
He has all the attributes to be a huge success in the way we are set up to play.
Most importantly Howe will make him into a superstar.
The 45M will look like peanuts in a season.

Comment #37The town moor option has been looked at in the past.
Many pubs and clubs in the city rely on the match day income to survive.

Comment #38I was reading about the delayed development of Strawberry place. Apparently the developers went bust and now the council are wanting the development kick started. Could be an opportunity for the club there.
