Frank Lampard says Anthony Gordon could be worth £100m. Let’s watch every goal he’s scored.

The winger has scored four goals in his pro career, and all but one were off deflections

Chelsea is making a major push for Anthony Gordon.

Everton has already rejected a £45 million bid for the winger, and this week he reportedly told the Toffees he wants to leave as Chelsea said it’s willing to pay up to £60m.

Speaking at a press conference on Friday, Everton head coach Frank Lampard denied Chelsea had actually tabled a £60m bid and expressed his belief that Gordon would stay at the club.

He also indicated that he believes the 21-year-old could, either now or in the future, be worth upwards of £100 million.

“I have been fortunate enough to work with fantastic young players in my time at Derby and Chelsea, seen them develop and become Champions League winners and worth maybe triple figures,” Lampard said.

“Anthony is in that bracket. He is ours, an Everton boy and the crowd relate to him.

“He is our player and remains so, he is in the squad for tomorrow. He is a huge player for us, I am not talking about a number [for a transfer].”

Gordon’s track record

It’s inarguable that Gordon isn’t nearly as accomplished as other players his age recently sold for a similar amount to the fees being bandied about, such as Kai Havertz, Jadon Sancho or Erling Haaland.

In 73 pro appearances so far, Gordon has scored four goals. And as the video below shows, two came from major deflections and one came when a teammate’s shot grazed him on its way into the net.

The numbers beyond goals paint a similar picture: Gordon isn’t producing anywhere near a player who could be worth nine figures.

In a more flattering compilation, the massive ability Gordon has is clear to see and of course, it’s also worth remembering that he’s still just 21.

But Gordon is not a £100m player yet, and it’s pretty clear he’s not even worth half that amount right now. It may be a good idea for Gordon to stay put and develop, rather than take a step up and be saddled with the expectations of a transfer fee he hasn’t quite justified yet.
