Anthony Gordon has told Newcastle fans: “you ain’t seen nothing yet” after forcing his way out of Goodison.
Everton confirmed on Sunday that the England U21 star had joined the top three club for a fee rising to £45m, after he “submitted a formal transfer request” in search of a big money move.
And Gordon, who has scored just seven goals in 78 appearances for the Blues, insisted that his stats are not a fair reflection of his talent, when he said: “People haven't seen what I'm capable of yet.
“So I feel like it’s a really big step - and I think I can really excel being here. I am not nervous about moving, I am really excited, and it is part of maturing.”
Gordon’s move from Everton has been shrouded in massive controversy, with fans from the club he has represented since he was a small boy angry at the manner in which he forced his way out of Goodison.

The forward went awol from training after travelling to London on Monday to meet personally with club owner Farhad Moshiri in person to demand a move, and has never returned to the Blues training ground.

But he argued that his actions could work out best for himself, and his boyhood club: “I didn’t mean to disrespect or offend anyone at Everton, I am hoping they know that, and they can reinvest the money now and stay in the PL.
“It’s been such a tough week for me because I never imagined I would leave like that, but they have got a lot of money for me, and I’m hoping they can reinvest that in the squad.
“It was extremely difficult to leave Everton, I’ve been there my whole footballing career - but this was an opportunity I just couldn’t miss out on.”
