Teenage midfielder Anthony Gordon has signed a new five-year contract at Everton, keeping him at the club until 2025.
The 19-year-old, handed his first senior start by boss Carlo Ancelotti in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park in June, has made 11 Premier League appearances.
Gordon became Everton’s sixth-youngest player when he made his debut as a substitute in the Europa League against Apollon Limassol in 2017, aged 16 years and 286 days.
“I’m delighted to sign and it is a big reward for my hard work," said Gordon.
“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.”
Gordon made his full debut against Liverpool in Everton’s first game back in June after the season had been suspended, but has yet to score his first senior goal.
He joins defenders Michael Keane, who signed a new deal on Sunday, and Mason Holgate and striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin in agreeing five-year contract with the club since the turn of the year.
