Gordon’s next step
Anthony Gordon has enjoyed an excellent start to the new season, silencing transfer speculation and doubters simultaneously.
The Everton winger scored in consecutive games against Brentford and Leeds United, showing the very composure and clinical instinct that was used against him after Chelsea’s reported £60million interest.

And Gordon’s stats this season underline the general opinion that the 21-year-old is taking his game to the next level under Frank Lampard, adding the goal contributions that he said he was aiming for during pre-season.
The return to fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the addition of Neal Maupay should see Gordon return to his own position out-wide, but the boyhood Evertonian looks set to reach the next stage in his development and prove why Lampard was so desperate to keep him at Goodison Park.

Scotland manager’s Patterson message
Steve Clarke has shared how Nathan Patterson ‘can only improve’ with regular football at Everton after naming the right-back in his Scotland squad.
The 20-year-old has flourished under Frank Lampard this season, playing every minute of Premier League football so far - one of only three outfield players at the club to do so. A combination of Seamus Coleman’s injury and a lack of relegation threat has allowed the young Scot to find his feet and quickly become a Goodison Park favourite.
"I think I was always quite clear in my mind that if Nathan got the chance to play at Everton he would grab that chance,” Clarke said after the squad announcement. "He's a big player for his club now and that is great to see. He's been a big player for his country for a little while. Probably playing more football for his country than his club."
Scotland have three Nations League games during the international break - twice against Ukraine and a clash with the Republic of Ireland between.
