Report: Second PL club join Spurs in Anthony Gordon interest at £35m price
90 min have revealed that Newcastle United have entered the race for Everton winger Anthony Gordon, who is also reportedly wanted by Tottenham.
Mike McGrath has also reported that Newcastle have made contact with Everton over a potential £35m deal for Gordon.
It was previously reported by Football.London that Spurs expressed an interest in Gordon while negotiating with Everton over Richarlison.
Sky Sports’ Lyall Thomas revealed last week that Spurs cooled their interest in the winger after the Toffees informed the Lilywhites that he was not for sale.
However, the print edition of The Daily Mirror (3 July, page 74) claimed on Sunday that Tottenham had not given up on their pursuit of the 21-year-old.
The report suggested that Antonio Conte’s men believe that they could land the youngster on a cut-price fee of just around £10m by offsetting a part of the fee that Everton may owe for Dele Alli.
If 90 min’s latest update is to be believed, Tottenham could face competition from Newcastle for Gordon this summer.
The report states that the England Under-21 international is of ‘significant interest’ to the Magpies during this transfer window.
Spurs Web Opinion
One suspects that the likes of Spurs and Newcastle would not be showing interest in Gordon if they had been told in no uncertain terms that the 21-year-old is not for sale.
They would have likely reached out to the player’s camp and might have been encouraged to make an offer. So, Tottenham’s pursuit of Gordon might not be completely dead after all.
While it is difficult to see where he would fit in at the moment, perhaps Paratici is considering his usual ploy of signing the youngster and loaning him back out to Everton.
