Sources: Newcastle United line up new Anthony Gordon bid amid £40m reveal
Newcastle United are lining up a new move for Everton sensation Anthony Gordon, sources from the club have told Football Insider.

But Newcastle have not given up hope of luring Gordon and are readying a new bid before the transfer window shuts.

They are in the market for attacking signings of their own going into the final fortnight of the window.
Everton have opened talks on a new deal with Gordon, and it would take an offer of £40million-plus to potentially trigger a deal.
The winger has three years remaining on his contract at Goodison Park.

He spearheaded Frank Lampard’s attack on Saturday in a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa.
