Anthony Gordon latest: Everton training return and transfer valuation confirmed

Anthony Gordon has returned to Everton training today after three days away from Finch Farm.

Gordon’s absence on Tuesday – the first session back after Frank Lampard’s sacking as manager – was described by the club as ‘planned’, along with Amadou Onana, but no explanation has been given for his no-shows on either Wednesday and Thursday.

Gordon is wanted by nouveau riche Newcastle United whose transfer war chest has been bolstered significantly by their takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment fund.
