Anthony Gordon, according to reputable journalist Pete O’Rourke

SportsKeeda: “This transfer window is going to be a hard one for
Anthony Gordon. He’s Everton’s superstar, in a sense, and he’s got his head turned. “I think he’ll leave for Chelsea tomorrow morning if he has the chance. But I don’t think he’d play for them anywhere near as often as he could for Everton - nothing about Chelsea ruining the transfer window……
Chelsea target
Anthony Gordon has ‘agreed personal terms’ with the club ahead of a potential move, according to journalist
Simon Phillips.
The Athletic have reported that Gordon has informed Everton boss Frank Lampard that he wishes to depart his boyhood club and sign for Chelsea ahead of September’s deadline.
In an interview with GiveMeSport, Phillips said: “Gordon himself has agreed personal terms with Chelsea, and he wants to move obviously; that’s quite common knowledge now.
“He’s not going to do anything to push it. I don’t think he’s going to go Wesley Fofana levels on it.”

Everton have expressed interest in bringing in
David Harrington as a young backup keeper but their efforts have fallen short.
The negotiation between Everton and Cork City has been cut short with Harrington lobbying to stay put for the season according to the
Irish Examiner. Harrington, just 22-years old, was an academy graduate for his Irish club. His contract expires before the end of the year so a move is likely even if it is through a free transfer to another club.
