Newcastle United target Anthony Gordon has bid an emotional farewell to former Everton boss Frank Lampard after he and his backroom staff were sacked on Monday. The Toffees are languishing in the Premier League relegation zone and on the hunt for a new manager to take the reins at Goodison Park.
Gordon is also expected to leave Merseyside this month with Newcastle at the front of the queue for his signature. Chronicle Live understands Lampard's Everton exit is unlikely to prevent the sale of Gordon - IF the price is right on the 21-year-old.
The attacker has been left out in the cold in recent weeks, last featuring for Everton on Boxing Day. However, Gordon still wanted to put his thanks to Lampard on record.
