In a recent report, Sky Sports mentioned that Tottenham Hotspur are now targeting Everton winger Anthony Gordon. It has also been mentioned that Spurs are thinking of acquiring Richarlison and Gordon over a double deal. Considering the Toffees’ financial situation they could be tempted to sell both of them if a lucrative offer is made.
Gordon’s Campaign With Everton In The Last Season
Gordon has had a decent campaign even though the Toffees found themselves at the bottom half of the table struggling over the relegation zone. He managed to score 4 goals and 2 assists over 40 appearances in the last season.
The Liverpool-born sensation produced a few influential displays in the attacking end of the field. He established himself as a key player under Frank Lampard after averaging 1.3 shots, 1.0 key passes and 1.1 dribbles per game in the Premier League. He has also been tidy with his ball distribution, completing 74.2% of his attempted passes in the English top-flight (stats via whoscored).
What Could He bring To Tottenham Hotspur?
Anthony Gordon excels at creating space for himself and doesn’t mind taking a shot at the goal from a distance. He can create some meaningful chances in the final third and also chip in with a few assists by setting up his teammates.
The 21-year-old is primarily a left attacking midfielder but remains versatile to virtually play anywhere on the attacking end of the field, and this makes him a good fit for Antonio Conte as he is looking to add more depth to his squad and also provide more cover to the left-wing and centre-forward area.
Gordon’s addition to Antonio Conte’s Spurs would be a brilliant move since he could train with the veterans and prove to be an attacking threat in the foreseeable future. He would make an excellent investment for the Lilywhites in this off-season.
