# Everton: Fans rejoice over Anthony Gordon call-up for England U21s

**Many Everton fans have been left rejoicing as some news emerged involving Anthony Gordon.**

As shared by the official [website](https://www.evertonfc.com/news/2338139/gordons-england-under-21-call) of the Goodison Park faithful, Gordon has received his first call-up to the England U21 squad by former Toffees player now manager Lee Carsley for a couple of games against Czech Republic and Georgia later this month, the former being a qualifier for the European Championships.

Rafa Benitez has recently shared his thoughts on the midfielder and his call-up, claiming that ‘he’s growing and getting better’, and ‘will be an important player’ for the Merseyside club in the future ([The Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitez-press-conference-live-22076997)).

He has already played in 28 senior matches for the Blues, including eight appearances so far this season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-gordon/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/503733/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), despite being just 20 years of age, and his [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-gordon/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/503733/plus/0?saison=&verein=29&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) assists in those games shows that he has contributed to the team.

Nonetheless, Gordon’s call-up is fully deserved, and he will eventually be hoping that he can catch Gareth Southgate’s eye with more good performances in the first team.
