Anthony Gordon has opened up on his journey through the Everton academy system, revealing the period in which he felt he learned the most as a player.
The winger has enjoyed a real breakout season among the first-team squad this term, becoming one of the Blues' most important players despite a difficult run of form recently. That has put the cherry on the cake of what has been an impressive rise through the ranks behind the scenes at Finch Farm, with the 21-year-old proving himself to be an exciting prospect at every youth level on his way to the first team.
Now Gordon is sitting on 24 Premier League appearances for the season, bagging three goals and two assists in that time. But before making a name for himself in the senior side, he learned some important lessons which helped his development as a player.
