Everton's wantaway forward Anthony Gordon missed training for a second day running with the club's owners now feeling that the 21-year-old's head has been turned by the prospect of a move to Newcastle United.
Gordon missed Tuesday's training but that was a pre-agreed absence - but like yesterday, Everton chiefs have not defended the Merseyside star's lack of attendance on Thursday morning. Gordon was expected to train with his team-mates at Finch Farm but was a no show.
Barracked by his own supporters after the recent 2-1 defeat at home to Southampton, Gordon's representatives are working an exit plan that they hope can lead to a switch to Newcastle. Yet there is still work to be done when it comes to his transfer fee.
