Fans have been left stunned after finding out how much it'll cost Anthony Gordon to maintain his GMC Hummer EV.
Gordon has made a big impression on the pitch this season, starring for both club and country.
He's started every game for Newcastle United and started England's two Nations League fixtures during the international break.
And ahead of potentially lining up for the Magpies against Fulham on Saturday, Gordon got people online talking after noticing his car that has never been seen before in the UK.
Gordon drove away from the club's training ground in his Hummer EV, which is assembled in the United States.

The all-electric whip is an impressive unit and costs around £190k.
The SUV, which weighs roughly 4,500 kg, produces 1000 horsepower and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds.

Well, according to YouTuber user Kyle, it costs between $10 (£7.50) and 'well over' $100 (£75.50) depending on some pricing models.
Naturally, the cost to maintain the bulky vehicle got car enthusiasts talking.
One YouTube user wrote: "Imagine how much there gonna charge in 10 years to charge your hummer."
A second wrote: "No wonder nobody wants EVs anymore. Can be $100+ and 2 hours to fill up?? Plus a gas truck is way cheaper to purchase. Time is money…5 minutes to fill up gas for a little bit more $$ is worth it."

A third added: "I live in the UK, no idea why you'd charge any EV at an EV charging point unless it's really needed en route. You should have a home charger installed and not pay premium rates at charge stations unless necessary on a long trip."
