Frank Lampard has made it clear that Everton will not consider doing business with Chelsea for Anthony Gordon after they failed to meet a deadline he had in mind.
The Everton manager would not make public, when asked last Friday, when there was a point of no return for Chelsea in this saga but when asked after Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Leeds if the deadline had been missed, Lampard said firmly: “Yes.”
Gordon had told Lampard that he wanted to move to Stamford Bridge and there were indications that Chelsea would bid as much as £60million for the 21-year-old, who scored his side’s goal at Elland Road and never stopped running throughout.
