It was a really difficult decision and it’s been a really tough week for me,” said Gordon, who cannot make his debut in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final second leg against Southampton as he has already played in this season’s competition with Everton.
“I’ve been at Everton for my whole footballing career so far, so it’s been difficult, but this is an opportunity that I couldn’t really miss out on. I didn’t mean to disrespect or offend anyone at Everton, and I’m hoping they know that and hopefully they can reinvest the money now and stay in the Premier League.
“I never imagined it or wanted it to go like that, that’s why it’s been such a tough week for me. But I just couldn’t miss out on this opportunity and they got a lot of money for me, so I’m hoping they can reinvest it into the squad.”
