Everton manager and ex-Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard has claimed that he is hoping for a quick resolution to the transfer saga surrounding youngster Anthony Gordon this summer. It comes as the Blues continue their approach to sign the 21-year-old before the deadline.
With just one week remaining until then, there appears to be plenty of action left in west London to be sorted out. Six signings have been made so far, with three being immediate first-team options and the other half being promising youngsters with a view to being future stars.
Thomas Tuchel still has a jumbled squad on his hands though, with some unsure of their future, while there remains a need to strengthen. Discussing the latest on transfers, the German coach said after the thrashing away at Leeds: "I don't know. We need to wait. The transfer period is still open. It gets later and later, and we need to focus on what we have and what we can do."
