Everton are determined to hold on to Anthony Gordon - despite firm interest from Newcastle United.
The Everton midfielder has three years left to run on his contract but Frank Lampard is determined not to lose the 21-year-old. The Toffees are showing resolve on their local lad Gordon being touted for summer moves but Chronicle Live understands that Tottenham Hotspur were told in no uncertain terms that the star wouldn't be leaving for North London.
We also understand that Everton's stance on Gordon leaving last week was scored at zero per cent by club chiefs when Spurs came calling and the Merseyside club's initial response has been exactly the same in that they don't want to give him up.
