Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has discussed Anthony Gordon's preferred playing position, revealing the forward would rather lead the line than play out wide. Gordon scored four goals against Qarabag in the Europa League on Wednesday, showcasing his attacking prowess.
Howe highlighted Gordon's exceptional pressing intensity and understanding when to apply it, qualities he believes make the 23-year-old particularly effective as a striker. The Newcastle boss emphasized that while every player has position preferences, Gordon's freedom in central roles brings out his best qualities.
