Scotland has made Anthony Gordon, a star for Newcastle United, their surprisWhy is Nick Pope not part of the English setup?
In an attempt to persuade Anthony Gordon of Newcastle United to change his international allegiance, Scotland is contemplating launching a massive charm offensive.
The Daily Record claims that despite having an outstanding season debut, the in-form player was left out of Gareth Southgate’s most recent squad.
Gordon, who left troublesome Everton in January, had a difficult first few months at St. James’ Park before scoring his first goal in black and white during the match’s final-day draw at Chelsea.
Nevertheless, with four goals and two assists already this season, the 22-year-old has become one of Eddie Howe’s most notable players.
After Gordon helped England win the European under-21 Championship, he was named Player of the Tournament in the summer.
The former Everton prospect performed admirably for Lee Carsley’s squad as a central striker, a position he has recently filled for the Magpies.
Many Tyneside stars are being watched by Scotland, and Elliot Anderson is still in the middle of a controversy despite his recent call-up.
Scotland is ‘pessimistic’ about persuading the 21-year-old to commit his international future north of the border, according to the report, but they are still interested in summer acquisitions Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento.
Gordon’s paternal grandparents allow him to be eligible for Scotland even though he was born in Merseyside.
The forward’s most recent exclusion has “sparked fresh interest,” despite the consensus that the “odds are against” the Newcastle star abandoning England.
