Anthony Gordon: I've improved with Everton first team promotion

Anthony Gordon feels his game has improved at Everton since his first team promotion.

The 19-year-old has been training with the first team for most of the campaign after having established himself as an integral part of David Unsworth's Under-23s in the closing stages of 2018/19.

When asked what he has learned by evertontv, the youngster remarked: "A lot, to be honest.

"I never realised how hard it would be, I always though I had the ability if I could just match it with the work rate.

"But there's so much more ability that I've gained just from being around, the speed of play, combination play - everything.

"Your whole game improves when you're playing with such good players.

"I'm watching them [Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison] now and they're two top players in the Premier League that are on a great run of form.

"All I can do is watch and learn from them."
