Anthony Gordon looks set to remain an Everton player beyond September 1.
The future of the 21-year-old - who scored his second goal of the season against Leeds United - has been under scrutiny with several clubs registering interest in him this summer. That peaked when the Blues rejected a £45m bid from Chelsea earlier this month.
But while the London club's pursuit has continued, Gordon now appears to be staying on Merseyside with Lampard revealing his 'red line' - the point beyond which he would not consider allowing such a key player to go - has now been passed.
