Anthony Gordon has arrived on Tyneside and is undergoing his medical and the usual transfer formalities this morning to complete his big money move to Newcastle United.
The Liverpool-born forward arrived this morning after new Everton boss Sean Dyche sanctioned his exit with the player making it clear he wanted to leave Goodison Park.
But the 21-year-old is now looking forward to working with Eddie Howe, providing there are no hitches with his medical.

On a busy day at Benton yesterday, Newcastle got the green light to give Kieran Trippier a contract extension and push through the £40million deal - which includes incentives - for Gordon. United tried to sign Gordon last summer but he ended up staying on Merseyside, amid major interest from Chelsea as well.
Newcastle also remain in talks to sign young right-back Harrison Ashby with West Ham but are yet to agree a price for the player. Ashby's representatives are spending the weekend working on a possible second deal before deadline day.
