The 24-year-old winger has also pledged his long-term future with Anthony Gordon signing a new contract with Newcastle United in October.
Despite Gordon being linked with Liverpool, he showed faith in Newcastle’s project and can now call himself a Carabao Cup winner with the Magpies.
Gordon was suspended for the final after picking up a red card just weeks before, but Gordon got to celebrate with Newcastle fans who have grown to love him over the past two years.
Anthony Gordon names other sport that helped his Newcastle career
Gordon pushed to leave Everton for Newcastle in 2023 and he has elevated his game to a new level.
Gary Neville was blown away by Gordon’s mentality when he spoke to the Newcastle star on The Overlap. Since then, Gordon has been called up to England and become a Three Lions regular.
In that same interview, Gordon revealed he does not lift weights to build up his strength. Instead, he has revealed that his passion for boxing has helped him toughen up.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Gordon said: “I think everyone in Liverpool likes boxing. I think every kid just finds themselves in the local boxing club.
“You grow up watching it as well. On the pitch, I think it makes me more aggressive, play with more tenacity.
“Before I started [boxing], I was down a lot. I would get pushed off the ball a lot.
“And then when I started doing it, it brought out a different side of me, aggression, and just wanting to win, more desire in those battles.”
Anthony Gordon’s record at Newcastle United
The £40m spent on Gordon is looking like a bargain for Newcastle now.
Howe is a big admirer of Gordon and his personality in the Newcastle squad. He has grown to become a pivotal part of this team, and the club will be delighted that he has committed to a new contract.
In 98 appearances for Newcastle, Gordon has scored 22 goals and assisted 17 times. That includes nine goals and six assists this season.
When Newcastle resume their Premier League campaign against Brentford on Wednesday, Gordon will complete the final match of his suspension.
Then, he will be free to return for the trip to Leicester City, and he will hope to play a big part in Newcastle’s push for Champions League qualification with 10 games remaining.
