Everton manager Frank Lampard has insisted that Anthony Gordon “is going nowhere” after Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United have both been linked with moves for the Blues’ home grown hero.
It’s understood that Tottenham Hotspur tried to include Gordon in a double deal with Richarlison but that was dismissed out of hand by Goodison Park chiefs, with a subsequent £10million offer for the 21-year-old considered derisory.
Reports then claimed that Newcastle United had put in a £35million bid for Gordon but Everton have no intentions of parting with the winger who they have just handed the number 10 shirt to. Lampard told evertontv : “He’s worked for it (the new squad number). You have to earn the number 10.
