Anthony Gordon is a 22-year-old left winger playing for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He also has experience as a right winger and striker. Despite his young age, he has shown significant potential, particularly in Chance Creation, Goal Efficiency, and Goal Threat, all of which are above average. This showcases his attacking prowess and ability to cause problems for opposing defences, making him a key threat in offensive situations.
His ball retention skills are decent, reflecting his ability to keep possession under pressure. However, it's important to note his ball recovery and one versus one defending aren't his strong suits which indicates his defensive contributions might be a liability.
Interestingly, Gordon shows a knack for the aerial duel and his duel win percentage is rather commendable for a winger, showcasing his determination and physicality in contests, making him a more versatile player.
His pass accuracy needs some improvement but his high assist rate implies he nevertheless manages to find open teammates in critical areas of the pitch. His touches are on the lower side which suggests he's a more direct player, focusing his touches on impactful actions.
Overall, Anthony Gordon is a promising young player having a considerable impact in his attacking roles but needs to work on his passing accuracy and overall involvement in the game to truly reach his potential.
