'What a question that is': Anthony Gordon says which England team-mate he'd have at Newcastle United

Anthony Gordon will be hoping to get the call from Thomas Tuchel to join up with his first England squad next month - Can we get a sarcastic 'whoop' for international breaks?

Newcastle United's flying winger had a rocky start to life as an England international, being overlooked by Gareth Southgate throughout the Euros, but Lee Carsley had no reservations about throwing him into the starting lineup during his brief stint in charge.

Now, Thomas Tuchel is just a couple of weeks away from naming his first squad as England manager, and it's highly likely that Gordon will be involved.

Indeed, Gordon has confirmed in his interview for That's Football's YouTube channel that he has spoken to Tuchel on the phone ahead of his first squad.

Anthony Gordon would bring Cole Palmer to Newcastle

Closing out that interview, Gordon was asked which one of his England teammates would he bring to Newcastle if he could

"What a question that is. I'm trying to think of this logically because I don't want to displace anyone.

"Right now, I'd probably go Cole [Palmer]. I don't think he'd suit our style of play at all, like our pressing style of play, but I think his quality and what he's doing at the minute, I'd probably pick Cole."

Anthony Gordon played a blinder with his selection

We're not sure where Cole Palmer would fit or who he'd replace unless he wants to try his luck on the right wing, but there's no doubting his quality, and having him available for selection for Newcastle would be immense.

To be honest, I was fully expecting him to say Jarrad Branthwaite. They're old mate from Everton, and given Newcastle's search for a new centre-back it seemed to make sense, but perhaps he didn't want to upset Fabian Schar.

It's clever, picking a player who doesn't fit the team at all. Well played, Gordon, well played indeed.
