Anthony Gordon and Newcastle United are struggling to make a breakthrough in their contract extension talks.

The 23-year-old winger joined the Magpies from Everton nearly two years ago and has since become an important player for Eddie Howe.

Formidable at times last season, Gordon made the left-wing position his own. The summer transfer window unsettled him though.

Desperate to ease the pressures of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability (PSR) rules, Newcastle considered selling the England international to Liverpool. A transfer to Anfield failed to materialise though after the Magpies managed to offload Yankuba Minteh to Brighton instead.

Featuring in six games already, Gordon has managed just one goal. It’s not just poor form that is the 23-year-old’s problem though.

After netting three league goals from just two starts, teammate and fellow left-winger Harvey Barnes, is pushing to become Howe’s first-choice left-sided attacker.

And according to the Telegraph, all of these moving parts are are impacting Gordon’s future at St. James Park. Although the Magpies promised him a new deal better reflecting his importance after he failed to join Liverpool, the ex-Everton man has so far failed to receive a suitable offer.
