Everton do not want to sell Anthony Gordon to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.
The Sun have reported that Tottenham are interested in signing Gordon from Premier League rivals Everton this summer.
Spurs are also keen on Brazil international forward Richarlison, according to the report.
Tottenham have made a bid of £80 million plus a further £20 million based on appearances for Richarlison and Gordon, described as “a player with personality” by former Everton boss and current Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti on the Toffees’ official website in July 2020.
Now, while Everton are willing to sell the £50 million-rated Richarlison, the report has claimed that ‘the Merseyside club’s board have been adamant they will not sell England under-21 winger Gordon who is a massive fans’ favourite’.
Tottenham, though, according to The Sun, are hoping that the big offer persuades Everton to sell both Richarlison and 21-year-old winger Gordon.
Could Tottenham Hotspur sign Anthony Gordon from Everton?
In our view, it is unlikely that Tottenham Hotspur will be able to sign Anthony Gordon from Everton in the summer transfer window.
Now, of course, we know that money talks, and a bid of £80 million for Richarlison and Gordon is a lot.
However, Gordon is only 21 and could develop into an ever better player, meaning that the Toffees could sell him for a lot of money in the coming years.
Moreover, the 21-year-old has come through the ranks at Everton, who will surely not want to upset the fans by selling a homegrown player.
