Frank Lampard has made clear that he would be loath to lose his rising young star Anthony Gordon to former club Chelsea.
And he admitted there was a certain irony in the club where he so strongly promoted the idea of pushing home grown talent, coming after the best player off the Everton youth team production line since Wayne Rooney!
But the Goodison boss is realistic enough to know that money talks in football, and with the London club apparently able to spend without restriction and Gordon obviously possessing a justifiable ambition, then he can offer no assurances the 21-year-old with stay with the Blues.
