Newcastle United have completed the signing of Everton forward Anthony Gordon in a deal that could eventually be worth \u00a345m.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old, who has been at Everton since he was 11, was a target for Chelsea in the summer.<\/p>\n

The initial fee is understood to be \u00a340m, rising to \u00a345m with add-ons.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince I heard of the interest, I was always convinced Newcastle were for me. People haven\u2019t seen what I\u2019m capable of yet,\u201d Gordon told NUFC TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the fan base and the city really suits me as a person, the way the team are playing under the gaffer really suits me, and the club just look like they\u2019re heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like it\u2019s a really big step. I think under the gaffer, and the way the club\u2019s going, I can really excel here.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Everton statement said Gordon had joined Eddie Howe\u2019s side \u2013 who are third in the Premier League \u2013 for an undisclosed fee after submitting a formal transfer request.<\/p>\n

Head coach Howe said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to sign Anthony \u2013 he\u2019s a top, top talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to work with him, to develop him, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what he can do in a Newcastle shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

A portion of the fee for the England Under-21 player is set to be given to Frank Lampard\u2019s successor as Everton manager, which is expected to be ex-Burnley boss Sean Dyche.<\/p>\n

Gordon was at Everton\u2019s Finch Farm training headquarters on Friday after being absent for three days, but the deal was completed well before Tuesday\u2019s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

Everton reportedly demanded \u00a360m from Chelsea for Gordon in the summer but the Merseyside club decided to sell for a lower fee.<\/p>\n

The academy product has scored seven goals in 78 games since making his debut in 2017.<\/p>\n

He has not started a game since the home defeat by Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day and his last goal came on 22 October in a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace \u2013 Everton\u2019s last win in all competitions.<\/p>\n

Gordon could make his debut for the Magpies when they take on West Ham at St. James\u2019 Park on 4 February.<\/p>\n
