Gordon, who finished as Newcastle's top goalscorer with 18 goals, signed a long-term contract extension at St James' Park in October 2024 and has four years remaining on that deal. But the former Everton winger was an unused sub in Newcastle's last four games, as the club sought to protect him ahead of an expected summer move.
