Goodison Park, Liverpool, Britain - October 22, 2022. Everton's Anthony Gordon celebrates scoring their second goal with manager Frank Lampard.
Everton forward Anthony Gordon is being monitored by Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the January transfer window, according to reports.
The Lowdown: Summer of interest
Chelsea were credited with an interest in the winger over the summer, but it was the Lilywhites who were seriously looking at completing a deal for him when they signed Richarlison.
The Goodison Park ‘bright spark’, as hailed by Josh Bunting, still has three years remaining on his deal on Merseyside, though an early exit could be on the horizon amid attention from the capital.
The Latest: Spurs monitoring Gordon
According to Football.London, Spurs will ‘continue to monitor’ Gordon’s situation ahead of the winter market ‘in case an opportunity’ to sign him arises.
The report states that any potential switch in the New Year will be ‘far more difficult’ than next summer, though Antonio Conte is ‘keeping a close eye’ on his number of homegrown players.
The Verdict: Alongside Keane
Defender Michael Keane looks set to leave Everton in January following a lack of game time, and Gordon could be the next to follow in his footsteps.
The Liverpool-born talent has only scored seven goals in 75 career appearances for the Toffees and is currently averaging 1.9 unsuccessful touches and dispossessed 1.4 times per league game (WhoScored).
Gordon is undoubtedly a fan favourite but one that might be ever so slightly overrated, so it would be a good idea to sell him to Spurs should a decent figure be put on the table.
