Frank Lampard admits that Everton need either a swift resolution to the Anthony Gordon situation or the player to remain at Goodison Park - while revealing that Dele Alli’s exit is now at an advanced stage.
The Blues boss was quizzed on Gordon’s future after the player was left on the bench for his side’s 1-0 win at Fleetwood Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Lampard said: “He’s our player, everyone knows there’s interest from Chelsea but he’s our player, it’s as simple as that.” Questioned if Gordon had asked to leave, Lampard said: “I’m never going to go into conversations that me and Anthony have, we have a good relationship and I’m not going to go there.”
