Tottenham Hotspur cannot buy what Anthony Gordon has with Frank Lampard at Everton
Rumours surrounding Anthony Gordon's future certainly caught the attention of a lot of Everton fans on Monday afternoon.
Reports emerged, initially from Sky Sports, that Tottenham Hotspur could be "preparing a package" that would see them bid for both the youngster and his team-mate Richarlison in the coming days. A later report from football.london confirmed that intention, citing that Spurs could well be interested in increasing their amount of homegrown players over the course of the summer.
It's fair to say that Blues supporters generally were not best pleased by the reports. Nor, you imagine, were the club. Gordon quickly became a fan favourite over the course of last season thanks to his regularly tenacious and energetic displays even when those around him were struggling for form.

The Times claims that the Blues have joined the likes of Newcastle United, Leicester City and Brentford – where he spent the second half of last season – in submitting a contract proposal with Manchester United and his former club Tottenham Hotspur also keeping tabs.
Given the player’s pedigree as one of European football’s elite playmakers, under normal circumstances it might have seemed strange for him to end up playing for a newly-promoted club but the combination of the serious medical episode on international duty when Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest, plus the chance to return to the Premier League under compatriot Thomas Frank after the termination of his contract at Serie A champions Internazionale, provided the player with a comfortable environment to launch his comeback. Having proven that he’s still an effective performer at the highest level, the 30-year-old now faces a big decision as to where he should ply his trade next season.
