Gordon has been linked with a move away from Newcastle for over a year now, with previously tipped to poach the international. But another club has now entered the conversation after the winger named captain Heung-Min Son as one of his favourite ever players.

Tottenham were interested in Gordon during his days and may be looking for a Son successor with the South Korean in talks to join LAFC this summer. However, with Newcastle missing out on so many transfer targets and likely to lose Alexander Isak, they may not be willing to sanction the sale of another attacking star.

Gordon and Son will come face-to-face with each other on Sunday when Spurs play Newcastle in South Korea. Gordon was giving his interview having already arrived in Son’s homeland, which may explain the added praise for the 33-year-old.
