He becomes yet another loan signing for North End &#8211; the fifth of the transfer window.<\/p>\n<h3>Experienced in the Premier League<\/h3>\n<p>Gordon has played in the Premier League for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/29\/barclays-womens-super-league-deadline-day-round-up\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton<\/a> and therefore has top tier experience that he can bring to the Lilywhites as they look to try and add more creativity in the final third of the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>He has just the five starts for Everton in the league and one assist during his time there so far but Gordon will no doubt relish the chance for more regular first-team action and will be desperate to grasp it with both hands.<\/p>\n<h3>Preston Will Give Anthony Gordon First Football League Loan Spell<\/h3>\n<p>In fact, this move to North End marks his first loan spell away from the Toffees, so he will want to hit the ground running in the second tier of English football. He certainly showed signs of life at Everton; signs that he can become a top player when given the chance. At Preston, he&#8217;ll get that chance to showcase his talents in abundance as he looks to take the Championship by storm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"JZnbaIVJTghTst2C5wexNg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1298247584\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'JZnbaIVJTghTst2C5wexNg',sig:'bNuFHY9DgwH_jRZIc1UXgS3RXh_xph8O5Uf4dPE6Rrk=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1298247584',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preston North End have completed a deal to bring Anthony Gordon to the club on loan until the end of the season, as confirmed by the club\u2019s website.
