England youth international forward Anthony Gordon has signed a first professional contract at Everton until the end of June 2023.

The Academy graduate, who turned 18 last month, has been rewarded for an impressive season of progression, helping David Unsworth’s Under-23s currently sit top of Premier League 2 after Monday night’s 2-0 Merseyside derby win at Anfield.

Gordon made his first-team debut in December 2017, coming on as a second-half substitute in Everton’s 3-0 Europa League victory at Apollon Limassol.
