Anthony Gordon keen to finally work with Thomas Tuchel after failed Chelsea move

Anthony Gordon cannot wait to finally work with Thomas Tuchel having been desperate to join England’s new boss when he was managing Chelsea.

The 23-year-old has established himself in the national team set-up since making his debut in March, building on his impressive performances for Newcastle.

Gordon made a big-money switch to St James’ Park from Everton in January 2023 having gone close to joining Chelsea the previous summer.

Tuchel was in charge as the Blues pushed to sign the forward and the pair will at last get a chance to work with each other when he begins as England head coach in the new year.
