Micah Richards blown away by ‘ridiculous’ Newcastle United star that can do ‘everything’

Anthony Gordon’s form for Newcastle United this season has him on the cusp of representing the Three Lions at Euro 2024 this summer. Gordon has registered eleven goals and ten assists in all competitions this campaign in his first full season as a Newcastle United player - form that has impressed many onlookers.

Micah Richards has revealed he is one of those that has been greatly impressed by the former Everton man - revealing his belief that the 23-year-old ‘can do absolutely everything’. Speaking on the Rest is Football podcast alongside Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer, Richards said: “Remember when he was linked to Chelsea before he went to Newcastle and everyone was laughing at him? And now, he is so consistent it’s ridiculous. 

“Whether he is getting assists from crosses, whether he is taking on his man, whether he is defending for the team, and I know you [Shearer] put him in your England team moving forward for the Euros, but honestly, I wouldn’t disagree with you now. 

“He can do absolutely everything. The improvement since the 21’s when they won it last summer has just been enormous. What a player he has turned out to be!”

With just four games of the Premier League season to go, Gordon needs just one more assist to register double figures for both goals and assists in the league this term. With the prize of potentially heading to his first major tournament as an England player on the horizon, you wouldn’t bet against Gordon surpassing that particular target before the end of the campaign.
