Everton have no interest in entertaining bids for Anthony Gordon, the ECHO understands.
Club sources have re-iterated their stance on the 21-year-old amid interest from Chelsea. Gordon had been the subject of attention from Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the summer.
Then, like now, the club remains keen to keep hold of the academy graduate who Frank Lampard has repeatedly spoken highly of. That resolve could be tested should Chelsea, a club that has already sanctioned several big money deals during this transfer window, make a sustained effort to buy him. But Everton's thoughts are currently focused on strengthening the squad, not receiving offers for a key player.
