We presume we must be wrong about Anthony Gordon because if Newcastle and Dan Ashworth want him, there must be something there. (We can't see it).
We were all quick to dismiss Chelsea’s summer push for Anthony Gordon as the latest in a rich recent history of transfer missteps, but now that Newcastle are interested we’re really wondering what top Premier League clubs are seeing that we aren’t.
It appeared Chelsea’s new chief had evolved the transfer policy from the Roman Abramovich days which saw the club sign forwards who promised much but delivered little, to one which would see them sign those without even much promise to begin with. It’s a surprise Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner haven’t been or weren’t a success at Chelsea; it would be a surprise if Anthony Gordon was.
With Gordon something of a beacon of hope as an academy product who had given his all in the latter stages of the season, you could sort of understand the club valuing him so highly. It certainly wouldn’t have been wise to let him go without a fight. To his credit he has the seventh best shots on target percentage in the top flight with 61.5%, but then the 68th best goals-per-shot ratio with three from 26. According to theratings for the Premier League this season, Gordon is the 155th best player in the division. If that therefore makes him the 155th most valuable player in the Premier League ,reckons he should cost Newcastle €22m , and that would put him in the same bracket as Che Adams and Caglar Soyuncu.
