# Tottenham: Gordon move ‘ready’ as journalist shares news

**Journalist Pete O’Rourke has shared what could be a significant update on [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/)‘s pursuit of Everton star Anthony Gordon this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs real admirers…

As backed by reliable journalists like [Alasdair Gold](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/tottenham-hotspur-spurs-anthony-gordon-transfer-news-latest-rumours-paratici/), Spurs hold a concrete interest in the Toffees winger after his brilliant 2021/2022 campaign in the [Premier League.](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/)

The 21-year-old turned heads at Goodison Park and earned subsequent praise from [members of the media](https://www.goodisonnews.com/2022/04/27/evertons-anthony-gordon-receives-plenty-of-praise-from-former-premier-league-midfielder/) for his performances, not to mention they seemingly lead to real admiration from the likes of [Chelsea](https://twitter.com/SportsPeteO/status/1561988014640881666) and [Newcastle.](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12646861/anthony-gordon-newcastle-make-contact-with-everton-over-deal-for-winger)

Both Thomas Tuchel’s side and the Magpies, like Tottenham, have also been linked with a move for Gordon with O’Rourke now sharing the latest.

### The Latest: O’Rourke shares significant Gordon update…

Taking to social media, the reporter has made a Lilywhites claim involving the 21-year-old as September 1 looms.

Indeed, O’Rourke now says Spurs are ‘ready’ to make a ‘late move’ to sign Gordon – rivalling their London counterparts Chelsea in the process.

He explained (via [Twitter):](https://twitter.com/SportsPeteO/status/1561988014640881666)

*“Tottenham are ready to make a late move to rival Chelsea for Everton attacker Anthony Gordon. Spurs have held a long-term interest in Gordon and made an approach for him earlier in the summer.”*

### The Verdict: Make the move?

Called a ‘[massive player](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1560612998003277824)‘ for Everton by Toffees boss Frank Lampard, it will be difficult to negotiate a deal for Gordon given his importance to them and lateness of this window.

The Englishman would come with real quality, not to mention he is homegrown and able to balance [Spurs’ troubling quota](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/tottenham-transfer-plans-fabio-paratici-24137502) in that regard.

However, Everton may dig their heels in with just over a week of the summer market to go, so we believe Gordon’s potential signing may be one for another window, especially if a bidding war with Chelsea drives the price up.
