Everton are in talks with Anthony Gordon over a new deal following heavy interest from Premier League clubs in the winger over the summer.
Gordon had his breakout year at Goodison Park last season and has become one of Everton’s most important players. That attracted interest from other English clubs over the summer, but the Merseyside club fended off suitors to keep their star man.
According to The Independent, Everton turned down an offer from Chelsea for Gordon in the summer, with the London club showing the most interest in the 21-year-old and are likely to make another attempt in the future.
As well as the Blues, Newcastle and Tottenham have also shown interest in Gordon.

Everton want to offer Gordon a deal that represents his current value to Frank Lampard’s side, as his current contract was signed before he was a first-team regular, The Independent report.
The winger has three years left on that deal and an extension would also put Everton in a stronger position coming to any negotiating table.
It’s been a slow start to the season for the Toffees as they hover just above the relegation zone in the Premier League, but Gordon has looked brilliant with two goals from his first six games.
