Newcastle United transfer target Anthony Gordon is expected to hold showdown talks with Everton ahead of what the Magpies hope will be his Goodison Park exit.
The 21-year-old did not turn up for training on Wednesday but is set to return to their Finch Farm base this morning. It is understood that Gordon has not handed in an official transfer request but has made it known he wants to leave via his representatives.
The Magpies are keen to add Gordon to their squad before deadline day and negotiations remain ongoing over his price tag. Eddie Howe is eager to work with Gordon and feels he is exactly what they need to bolster their frontline.
