Anthony Gordon Net Worth, Salary & Estimated Wealth

Anthony Michael Gordon was born on February 24th, 2001, in Kirkdale, Liverpool.

Football-obsessed from a very young age, the future England winger would play out in the streets until all hours with his brothers Brandon and Reuben, using their family home merely as a pit-stop to race into, scoff down a meal, then return to their games. 

Twice a week, Gordon would attend Liverpool FC’s academy, less than a mile away, dreaming of one day becoming a professional footballer.

If anything equalled his obsession with the sport it was a devotion to the Reds, following in his father Keith’s footsteps who was a season-ticket holder at Anfield, so it must have been heartbreaking to the 11-year-old when they released him, citing his skinny frame and size. 

Undeterred, he was soon after picked up by Everton.

Only then lightning struck twice, the Toffees believing he was too lightweight to make the grade and at this juncture Gordon focused on playing for Alsop High, his school team, as well as turning out for Whiston Juniors in the St Helens League at the weekend. 

One afternoon, while excelling for the latter, a scout noted his pace and clinical finishing and contacted Everton, informing the club’s head of academy recruitment that he’d found a gem. He was told they had already made their mind up on him. 

To the scout’s immense credit however he dug his heels in, insisting they take a second look, and Gordon duly impressed when assessed at a development centre. Four years later he made his debut for the Merseysiders, coming on as a late sub in a hard-fought draw with West Ham.

Presently, Anthony Gordon is a multi-millionaire Premier League player, one who is no doubt barracked from time to time from fans who believe success has come all-too-easy. Whereas the truth is that he stubbornly refused to give up on his dream and is now being richly rewarded for that.

How Much Is Anthony Gordon Worth?

In 2024/25, Gordon’s weekly salary at St James Park has jumped to £93,000 from £60,000 and, with win bonuses and scoring bonuses factored in, it is entirely reasonable to estimate that this current season will net the winger over £5m in wages.

Naturally enough, there is also past earnings to account for, including £1.5m accrued from his time at Everton.

An exclusive deal with Adidas boosts his net worth considerably, and with Gordon being one of the sports giant’s marquee names it is a deal that easily exceeds £1m per year. 

Establishing himself as an England star will have also amplified his earning power, his profile forever rising. 

Such fortunes has led to the recent purchase of a £3m house in the Jesmond area of Newcastle while the player has additionally been spotted driving a Lamborghini to training. 

All told, Anthony Gordon’s net worth is north of £6m and is only expected to increase in seasons to come.

Club Career

Tipped to struggle on a seasonal basis in the sports betting, Everton typically cannot afford to blood homegrown fare, allowing them a season or two to adapt to the highest level. Youngsters need to make their mark and do so quickly.

Which Gordon did, standing out in a derby stalemate against the club he supported as a boy, then assisting in his next start at home to Leicester.

With the teenager also receiving rave reviews for a handful of England Under 18 outings to this point word began to spread that the Toffees had unearthed a genuine talent.

Even so, further experience was needed, so a loan spell to Preston North End followed, a clutch of games in the Championship doing the wide-man the power of good.

It was the 2021/22 campaign that proved to be the player’s big breakthrough, appearing regularly at Goodison Park from September on, and it didn’t take long before rivals were casting admiring glances.

Arsenal were keen prior to Gordon breaking into the first team. RB Leipzig went as far as to make an official enquiry. Bayern Munich were reportedly tracking his progress with interest. 

Chelsea’s pursuit made the back pages of the newspapers for months on end.

Gordon however wasn’t fazed by any of this. Having recently signed a five year contract his only intention was to make an impact under Rafa Benitez, then later Frank Lampard after the Spaniard was sacked. 

And it’s fair to say that he did precisely this, because across the next season and a half, Gordon was superb, rightfully winning the Young Player of the Season merit, and scoring and assisting liberally. 

Only then, Newcastle United entered the fray, cash-rich from a recent takeover and expressing serious aspirations to sign him. Unsettled by their overtures, Gordon’s form dipped and his behaviour changed, missing training in an attempt to force through a move. 

Fans that had loved him just weeks earlier now turned on him and this all-too-familiar scenario was always going to conclude with the player transferring to the North-East, which he duly did in January 2022 for a fee totalling £45m.

At St James Park, the winger has shone, becoming an integral part of Eddie Howe’s post-takeover project.

In his opening season, the football betting gave the Magpies little chance of securing a top four spot but they proved the tipster wrong, claiming Champions League football for the first time in two decades. 
Gordon played a huge role in that.

In his second campaign, striking up a harmonious relationship with Alexander Isak up front, the Merseysider reached double figures for both goals and assists in the league. 

In May, he was voted the club’s Player of the Season.

Playing For England

Gordon received his first England call up in the spring of 2024, making his international bow against Brazil at Wembley.

A matter of months later he was included in Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad and with the Three Lions struggling in their opening games the press and public alike clamoured for him to be selected ahead of misfiring first-teamers.

As it was, his entire experience in Germany amounted to a single minute of action.

That is not to say that Gordon hasn’t enjoyed significant highs on the international stage, helping England win the Under 21 Euros in the summer of 2021. Deployed in an unfamiliar striker’s role he scored twice and was ultimately voted Player of the Tournament.
