Frank Lampard has warned Chelsea he wants a resolution on Anthony Gordon’s future and has set a deadline beyond which Everton will no longer consider selling the England Under 21 international.
Gordon has been the subject of persistent interest from Chelsea and has told Lampard he wants to move. But Goodison Park officials have not yet received a firm offer, despite there being suggestions that a £60million package is imminent.
Lampard has included Gordon in his squad for Saturday's fixture at Brentford and has been impressed with how the forward has dealt with the scrutiny on him.
