Hide AdEverton’s Gordon stance
Everton are standing firm on their reluctance to see Anthony Gordon leave this summer, despite intense speculation that Chelsea are interested in a £60million move for the winger.
Whilst the Toffees are thought to be open to a deal for Gordon should Chelsea match their valuation of the player, Frank Lampard wants to strengthen his squad before allowing Gordon to leave Goodison Park.
Billy Gimour and former Everton man Ross Barkley have been two names linked with a move to Goodison Park this summer, however, no concrete offers for the pair have been made.
