Anthony Gordon: Frank Lampard says Everton have not received a £60m bid from Chelsea for 'huge player'

Frank Lampard appears resolute in his determination to keep Anthony Gordon at Everton, revealing there has not been a £60m bid for the 21-year-old and that he is a «huge player» for the Toffees. Chelsea — as per multiple sources — have been pursuing England U21 star Gordon during the summer transfer window, but with just six days left for Premier League clubs to finish their business and in view of Lampard's comments, a deal would seem to be far off at this stage. Ad Lampard takes his team to Brentford on Saturday as they try to find their first Premier League win of the season.
