Everton could have another say in Anthony Gordon’s future years from selling him to Newcastle United, and it would benefit the Toffees in the process.

David Moyes‘ men are en route for a first European campaign since 2017-2018, and in doing so, they could hand themselves an added financial boost.

The income from qualifying for Europe alongside the added matchday income could propel the Blues along in the transfer window.

After years of financial uncertainty, the Merseyside club looks to be heading towards a healthy balance sheet.

Now, former Toffees man Gordon could further that positivity despite his unpopularity among fans, as Everton’s finances can be boosted by him.

How Everton can force extra Anthony Gordon windfall

Gordon has not been a popular man in L3 since leaving the Toffees for Newcastle back in 2023, amid the Blues’ struggles in the Premier League.

Tensions were further pushed when Andros Townsend inferred that his former teammate was lazy, stating: “He had immense pace, obviously, but he didn’t work hard enough.”

Additionally, the wingers’ rumoured dream of moving to Merseyside rivals Liverpool has ultimately dwindled any chance of a change of heart from the fanbase, who consistently boo Gordon when he faces his former club.

Now, fate has a sense of irony, as he may end up helping Everton ahead of next season. That is because Gordon has a sell-on clause in his Newcastle deal.

The BBC have now reported that Gordon could be sold if Newcastle miss out on Champions League football.

Everton, of course, are also battling for those positions, and if they can beat Newcastle themselves to those spots, they could hand themselves a financial boost.

The full-circle Anthony Gordon moment Everton fans will love

Gordon felt that Everton could not meet his ambitions of playing in European competition, stating so on The Overlap, saying: “My ambition is to be at the very top of football, and I couldn’t do that where I was.”

Now, three years later, the Merseyside club are on track to qualify for Europe and even within a chance of playing Champions League football.

Although Gordon has been able to achieve those European dreams away from Everton, the Blues potentially forcing him out of Newcastle while landing themselves a payoff would be a moment fans could certainly relish.

The surprise income could help The Friedkin Group with their transfer plans and push the Blues to be a consistent European outfit.

Meanwhile, Gordon will once again have to seek a move away as Everton pip his current employers in the league.

For the second time, Everton have the chance to decide the winger’s future. The irony would be something worth savouring.
