Tottenham have already added one Everton attacker to their ranks this summer, but could another join them?
Well, there have been rumours that Spurs want to sign Anthony Gordon after securing a deal for Richarlison and they could use Dele Alli’s January move to Goodison Park in an attempt to lure him to Hotspur Way.
Back in April, with the Toffees in the middle of a relegation battle, Jamie Carragher spoke highly about the boyhood Blue, who had a breakthrough season last time out.
Gordon was one of Everton’s best players and one of the most important factors in them securing safety in the Premier League after a season of struggle.
Carragher shared on Sky Sports in April that Gordon had been a ‘revelation’ under Frank Lampard and how he had known about the player for a while.
“I’ve watched him for a while,” said Carragher to Sky Sports in April. “I’ve known about him coming through, always knew he was a really good player.
“But, actually seeing him in the flesh commentating, his actual pace surprised me. I knew he was quick, but he was just taking the ball away from players. He’s the first name on the team sheet right now for Everton.
“Anthony Gordon has been a revelation since Frank Lampard came in,” as quoted by the Daily Mail.
EVERTON CAN’T SELL GORDON
The supposed financial trouble Everton are under perhaps played a big part in them allowing Richarlison to leave Spurs for £60 million.
But surely they can’t allow one of their up-and-coming talents to also head for the exit door?! Whilst the Richarlison transfer would have been expected by fans, this one won’t.
Plus, whilst some question if Tottenham’s new Brazil star gets into their XI, someone like Gordon would surely be a squad player, so it’s not like he would swapping regular football for more regular football.
But, at the end of the day, money talks and if Spurs are serious about the England U21 international, then a deal might just be done.
