Declan Rice reacts to Anthony Gordon’s iconic Newcastle reveal
Arsenal star Declan Rice has reacted to a big social media reveal made by Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon.
Despite enduring injury setbacks this season, Gordon has made a return of nine goals and six assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
Thanks to his fitness issues, the former Everton man missed out on the action when Newcastle defeated Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final in March.
But Gordon has still been a key figure for the Magpies this term, even though he has failed to score since their 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup semi-final on 5 February.

Newcastle will clinch Champions League football if they defeat Everton at St James’ Park on Sunday, 25 May.
Meanwhile, Gordon posed in the Magpies’ new shirt on Instagram on Friday, 23 May, revealing that the North East club’s kit is still being provided by the iconic Adidas.
Arsenal star and England international teammate Rice was among those to give the 24-year-old’s post a like.
Liverpool reignite their interest in Gordon
If Eddie Howe’s men successfully qualify for the Champions League, it will bolster their chances of retaining the likes of star striker Alexander Isak.

The Sweden international has notched an impressive return of 27 goals and six assists in 41 appearances across all competitions this term, and has attracted interest from the likes of Arsenal.
But while the Magpies could still finish third in the Premier League, they may face an uphill battle to retain the services of Gordon this summer.
Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Liverpool boss Arne Slot remains keen on the winger, while the 24-year-old is open to a Merseyside return, having previously played for Everton.
The summer transfer window presents Slot with a key opportunity to bolster his squad at Anfield after winning the Premier League title, while Gordon could be a great acquisition for the Reds.
On the other hand, Newcastle could find it difficult to successfully replace the England international even if they secure a Champions League spot.
