Tottenham Hotspur keeping tabs on Everton winger Anthony Gordon
Tottenham Hotspur are still keeping tabs on Everton winger Anthony Gordon for a potential move this summer, according to Football London.
The 21-year-old is highly rated in the football community and has been attracting interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United [The Telegraph].
However, as per the latest report, Spurs are closely monitoring the situation of Gordon as they are still keen on making a move in the ongoing transfer window.
The North London-based club were interested in the winger earlier and made a bid for him which was rejected by the Toffees [Sky Sports], and could come again the next nine days.
Too important
Everton came into this transfer window knowing full well how they will have to sign a player or players to strengthen the attacking department with the future of Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin remaining uncertain.
While only one of them — Richarlison — has left the club and joined Spurs as Calvert-Lewin is set to stay after suffering an injury in the preseason.
However, the Toffees have not been able to find a replacement for the Brazil international with less than 10 days remaining in the transfer window.
Therefore, in such circumstances, it would be criminal to let someone like Gordon leave the club as there is clearly not enough time to find a replacement no matter how much money has been offered.
The England U21 international is an Everton academy player who was promoted to the senior team in January 2020.
Since then, he has represented his current club in 63 matches across all competitions where he has managed to score four times and provided eight assists as well [Transfermarkt].
