Simon Jordan has lauded Newcastle United for not bowing down to Everton’s hefty demands. ChronicleLive understands the Toffees have slapped a £60million price tag on Anthony Gordon.
The 21-year-old has not reported for training duty in three days, although the first of those was due to a pre-agreed absence. Gordon was expected to turn up at the Finch Farm training ground on Thursday morning but he failed to show up.
Everton are believed to be resigned to the prospect of losing the winger after staving off interest in the summer. Wage demands are not expected to be an issue but Toon chiefs have reservations over the transfer fee.
