Player who needed lift home from Metro Centre when he joined Newcastle now has UK's first £190k Hummer EV

Anthony Gordon bagged Newcastle United's player of the year last season then went with England to Euro 2024 after winning the U21 tournament the summer before.

If anyone has earned the right to treat themselves it's Anthony Gordon and he's certainly gone above and beyond on that score.

Shortly after he signed for Newcastle the pacey winger went to the Metro Centre to get some essentials, but when he came out he struggled to find transport back home before some kindly Newcastle fans offered to give him a ride.

That's not a situation he's likely to find himself in again any time soon.

Anthony Gordon has treated himself to a new toy

AG10 has bought himself a brand new Hummer EV and it's believed to be the first one on the roads in the UK. He was spotted by X user @laurenback_ leaving the training ground in the sandy-coloured hulking beast of a vehicle.

The Hummer EV is priced at around £190,000 and despite its bulk, it can go from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds and produces 1000 horsepower.

However, his choice of vehicle is very much dividing opinion online with many people pointing out that he's definitely going to struggle around some of the roads around the region, and is definitely going to struggle to park it in a car park.

There's no hiding place for Gordon now

Others simply criticised the car's looks but that's completely subjective. Personally, I love it, even if it wouldn't be my choice if I had £190k to spend on a car.

As for parking, just park on top of other cars, it's more than capable. You do you, Anthony.

However, good luck to him when trying to be inconspicuous when he goes out now, everyone's going to know he's around with a unique motor like that parked up.
