Anthony Gordon to Chelsea deal falls through

31 August 2022 - 10:39

Everton coach Frank Lampard has effectively ended all talk of Anthony Gordon departing Goodison Park for a move to Chelsea, suggesting that the transfer deadline is now too close and the club have decided to keep Gordon. Chelsea have had a bid of £45 million rejected for the winger.

With two goals in two games, Gordon has emerged as a top talent for Everton, and Frank Lampard insists that the club want to keep the player.

When asked of Gordon would be leaving, Lampard said: \"No. He\'s too important a player and I think he showed his worth in the last two games.

\"And with two days now to go [until the window closes], what good would it do us to do anything with Anthony? On a bigger picture than that, he is our player who we\'ve developed and there\'s an affiliation with him and the fans and vice-versa. \"Clearly, the interest has been there because he is a top player. And that is why we\'re so keen to keep him.\"
