Everton winger Anthony Gordon insists he never wanted to leave last summer despite interest from Newcastle United and Chelsea. ChronicleLive reported in July how the Magpies were considering a bid for the 21-year-old.
However, that offer never materialised but Chelsea did see a £45million proposal rejected by the Toffees. Everton turned down an astronomical sum for a player who only had one season as a first-team regular in professional football.
Gordon has not allowed rumours regarding his future to distract from his performances on the pitch. The wideman has enjoyed a fine start to the campaign, bagging twice to hit back at critics who questioned his ability amid the transfer links.
