Newcastle United’s £45m signing Anthony Gordon could face jail after being caught driving just two days into a road ban
NEWCASTLE United’s £45million signing Anthony Gordon could face jail after driving just two days into a road ban.
The star, 21, got a six-month disqualification on Monday for twice failing to disclose details of the driver of his car.
But on Wednesday he was pictured driving his £100,000 black Mercedes G-Wagon with his girlfriend Annie Keating.
Gordon, who joined from Prem strugglers Everton on Sunday, shamelessly parked in daylight outside the Hilton hotel in Gateshead’s busy town centre.
Wearing a black puffer jacket and with his unmistakable bleached blond hair, Gordon was seen clambering out of the driver’s side before going inside.
Flouting a road ban can mean up to six months’ jail.
A source said: “What a way to start his Newcastle spell.
“He could face prison.”
He was banned after offences linked to parking and speeding raps last year.
Yesterday, he was dropped off and picked up at training by his girlfriend.
Northumbria Police said: “As is standard practice, we wouldn’t confirm or deny the identity of anyone who may or may not be part of a police investigation and who has not been charged with a criminal offence.”
Newcastle FC have been contacted for comment.
