Everton have confirmed that exciting youngster Anthony Gordon has signed a new five-year contract with the club.
The 19-year-old signed his first professional contract with the Blues in March 2019 which was set to keep him at Goodison Park for the next four years, but now he has signed terms until 2025.
The winger burst onto the first team scene across the course of the season following the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti at the club, making his Premier League debut away to West Ham in January.
The academy graduate was then given his first start in June's Merseyside derby at Goodison before regularly featuring for the side for the rest of the campaign.
The player, who joined Everton aged 11 and made his senior debut in a Europa League tie against Apollon Limassol as a 16-year-old in December 2017, figured in 11 top-flight games last term, starting four times.
Gordon told evertontv : “I am delighted to sign and it is a big reward for my hard work.
“The contract shows the club’s faith in me and how much confidence they have in me and that is going to come out in my performances on the pitch.
“Everton is looking like it is on the up. We are coming together as players, staff and fans. We have new things to be excited about, such as the new manager, Marcel [Brands] is a great Director [of Football] and we have the new stadium to look forward to.
“Hopefully, we can grow and progress together and get that bit of experience where we can go and do something. Not just push for silverware but get there and win trophies and achieve what we want to achieve.”
