Everton are finally ready to cash in on Anthony Gordon - it they can find a suitable replacement.
The Goodison Park club have stood firm in the face of three approaches from Chelsea - plus offers from Tottenham and Newcastle - with boss Frank Lampard insisting he wants the 21-year-old to stay. But the Club World Cup holders have indicated they are ready to return with an eye-watering offer of £50million that could rise to £60m with additional bonus payments.
While Lampard and the club’s hierarchy want to keep the rising star, who is a product of the Toffees' academy, the financial situation at Goodison makes it almost impossible to resist Chelsea's approach.
