Anthony Gordon fails to turn up to Everton training amid interest from Newcastle and Chelsea

Anthony Gordon failed to turn up to Everton's Finch Farm training ground on Tuesday, as Newcastle United held talks with the Toffees over a potential transfer for the star forward.

Newcastle previously tried signing the 21-year-old in the summer, but Everton rebuffed their pursuit. Chelsea suffered the same fate six month ago, too, but have retained an interest in Gordon despite being unsuccessful in their attempts to sign him.

Neither club were able to match Everton's £60 million valuation of Gordon in the summer of 2022, but, with just 18 months remaining on his contract, it is believed he is available for less than that now.

According to Sky Sports (opens in new tab), Everton might even be tempted to sell if offered around £40 million. They have recently lost out on signing Arnaut Danjuma on loan, though, after Tottenham hijacked the deal, so might be more reluctant to sell.
