In England's recent victory against Serbia, Phil Foden faced some struggles on the field. As the team prepares to face Denmark at Euro 2024 on Thursday, there has been some debate on whether or not Foden should be dropped in favor of Anthony Gordon, a young and fearless player.
Former Arsenal and England player, Theo Walcott, shared his thoughts on the matter, stating that he believes Gordon should be given a chance to shine. Walcott, who has played alongside Gordon at Everton, praises his attacking abilities and his tendency to take on defenders. He believes that England could benefit from having a player like Gordon, who offers a different style of play compared to the more traditional inverted wingers.
Currently, Gordon has not had the opportunity to play in Euro 2024, but Walcott argues that he could bring a new dynamic to the team. With Foden struggling to make an impact in the previous game, some have suggested that Gordon or Eberechi Eze should be given a chance in the starting lineup. Walcott agrees with this sentiment and believes that Gordon's fearlessness and excitement would be valuable at the international level.
Despite only having three caps for England, Gordon has already made an impression with his impressive performances for his club, Newcastle. He was named in the squad for the game against Serbia but did not get the chance to play. Instead, West Ham's Jarrod Bowen was brought on as a substitute by manager Gareth Southgate.
In the end, it will be up to Southgate to make the decision on who will start in the upcoming game against Denmark. But with the support of former players like Walcott, it seems that Gordon's name is being thrown into the mix as a potential game-changer. Whether or not he will get the chance to prove himself on the international stage remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, Gordon's fearless and exciting style of play has caught the attention of football fans and experts alike.
