Goodison Park, Liverpool, Britain - May 15, 2022, Everton's Anthony Gordon during the match.
The Athletic journalist David Ornstein has revealed some positive transfer news on Anthony Gordon for Everton supporters.
The Lowdown: Offer made for Gordon
It has been reported that Newcastle United have made a £35m bid to try and lure the 21-year-old away from Goodison Park.
Tottenham Hotspur are also thought to be readying an offer for the England under-21 international, and it will now be up to the Merseyside club whether they sell to the highest bidder.
The Latest: Ornstein’s update on Gordon
However, taking to Twitter in sharing a corresponding article for The Athletic, Ornstein has revealed that Everton have ‘no intention’ of selling Gordon this summer ‘amid enquiries’ from a number of clubs in the Premier League when ‘interest’ was expressed by them ‘during conversations’ with the Toffees.
The reporter tweeted: “Everton have no intention of selling Anthony Gordon amid enquiries from other PL clubs. Interest expressed during conversations but #EFC unwilling to consider 21yo’s exit. Likely new deal will be offered but not result of rival admiration.”

The Verdict: Positive for Everton
It is certainly positive to hear of Everton’s intentions to keep Gordon, and indeed potentially offer him a new contract.
The 21-year-old is a player who has come through their academy, so he would have that extra special connection with the club’s supporters.
Moreover, he was one of their most important players last season, with up four goals, two assists and two man-of-the-match awards in 35 appearances in the Premier League (WhoScored).
Having already sold Richarlison to Spurs, the Toffees must do everything that they can to keep homegrown talent Gordon at the club for as long as possible.
