Newcastle United have had a challenging summer transfer window but overcame that with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Eddie Howe’s team has earned seven points from their first three games, a solid start given some of their performances. They now have a two-week international break to recover before their match against Wolves.
During this period, the club is expected to intensify contract negotiations with one of their key players.
**Newcastle to Offer New Contract to Anthony Gordon**
Anthony Gordon, who was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool over the summer—including a potential swap deal involving Joe Gomez—saw that transfer fall through as Newcastle found alternative funding to meet Profit and Sustainability regulations.
According to inews, Newcastle are preparing to offer Gordon a new contract with improved terms, similar to the recent deal given to Bruno Guimaraes. Gordon, currently earning £60k a week, is expected to be aligned with the club’s top earners.
There is increasing urgency to finalize Gordon’s new contract to deter future interest, particularly from Liverpool. The Reds remain interested in the 23-year-old, who is a lifelong fan of the club, so ongoing speculation is likely.
The next few weeks will be crucial.
