Frank Lampard refuses to answer Anthony Gordon to Newcastle question before abrupt interview exit

Frank Lampard refused to answer questions regarding Anthony Gordon's current situation amid a possible move to Newcastle on Saturday evening. The Everton boss opted to leave the 21-year-old on the bench for the entirety of the 2-0 defeat to West Ham as speculation rumbles on over a potential Tyneside switch this month.

Newcastle, along with Chelsea, were keen to sign Gordon in the summer but Everton held out and kept the young attacker at Goodison Park instead. The Toffees have since struggled so far this term and Gordon has only played 21 minutes of league football since Boxing Day.

Newcastle are now looking for more attacking firepower following Chris Wood's exit - and Gordon is back on the club's radar. However, Lampard was not in the mood to answer questions about a potential exit when pressed on Saturday.
