Newcastle United have their very own version of Kylian Mbappe in the squad.

That may be the view of the club's manager Eddie Howe, who has talked up his young squad.

As the Magpies get set to take on Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain, Howe hailed winger Anthony Gordon's quality.

A nice headline, that one," said Howe of the comparisons.

"Anthony has been great for us. When we signed him, we knew he was a player of huge potential, reliability, pace and technical ability. He is unique. He plays on the edge and is a fierce competitor.

He's also been robust. That is something we're putting more importance on, because those who can play every few days, that's a skill in itself.

The output he gives the team is extremely high, every week. He is managing to recover and go again.

I'm delighted with his progress this season, he has really come on massively. The big thing for him recently has been adding goals and assists."
