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.

Everton’s humiliating loss to Minnesota United has Frank Lampard already talking relegation

Some preseason losses are more painful than others

There have been some predictable results over the past few days amid the annual tradition of European clubs fanning out across the U.S. to face MLS clubs during their preseason.

Barcelona beat Inter Miami 6-0. Bayern Munich defeated D.C. United 6-2. Arsenal beat Orlando City 3-1.

But not every game has gone according to script. Charlotte FC managed a 1-1 draw against Chelsea. And, incredibly, Minnesota United laid a 4-0 beating on Everton Wednesday night.

Everton manager Frank Lampard, who narrowly led his team to an escape from relegation last season, was understandably not pleased to see his side humbled by an MLS team in such a fashion.

“The players in the dressing room need to understand that they’ve put in a very poor performance individually and collectively,” he said after the game.

Such was the standard of his team’s display, Lampard was even ready to invoke the possibility of another relegation battle in 2022-23.

“The players have to work and understand we were in a relegation battle for a big portion of last season,” he said. “We had an amazing night (securing their Premier League status against Crystal Palace) and an amazing run, but as soon as that finished, I put it to bed very quickly, so the players have to put it to bed as well, because we were in that fight for a reason. And if we don’t want to be in that situation again, they have to be better and I have to be better.”

Everton lost its star Richarlison this summer, after the Brazilian joined Tottenham in a £60 million deal. The club has not yet brought in a replacement, which is causing a “void” according to Lampard.

“There is no doubt about it. When you think of where we were last year, we have lost a big player in Richarlison…we wish him well, but our club now continues,” Lampard said.

“We know there is a void in forward areas, we are short in numbers there. Also, through the team, there are things I want to strengthen, and I can be honest about that, because a club like Everton has to have a competitive squad.”

Arsenal defeats Everton in 2-0 win at M&T Bank Stadium

Arsenal defeated Everton in a 2-0 win at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday

The Baltimore Ravens are known for their incredible stadium events that make for a wonderful experience at M&T Bank Stadium, no matter what they are. Aside from football games, the venue hosts a wide array of other events, from concerts, fireworks shows and more.

On Saturday, Baltimore hosted both the Arsenal and Everton soccer clubs of the English Premier League for a friendly match at M&T Bank Stadium. The Gunners ended up defeating the Toffees 2-0, with both of Arsenal’s goals coming in the first half of play. The match was an instant hit, with 39,245 being the reported attendance for the event.

Frank Lampard says MLS doesn’t get the credit it deserves in England

The ex-NYCFC midfielder and current Everton boss says many Brits don’t understand how strong the league is

Frank Lampard has said MLS doesn’t get the credit it deserves back home in England.

Lampard ended his illustrious playing career in the North American top flight, playing for New York City FC in 2015 and 2016 after a trophy-filled career spent mostly with Chelsea.

The ex-England star is now back in the U.S. as Everton manager, as the Toffees embark on a preseason tour that will see them face Arsenal in Baltimore on Saturday and then Minnesota United in St. Paul on Wednesday.

Lampard said it’s difficult to follow MLS closely nowadays due to the demands of his job with Everton as well as the lack of matches on English television, but says fans in the U.K. should give the league more respect.

“In England we don’t get to see a great deal of MLS,” Lampard told Pro Soccer Wire. “I feel fortunate I came to play here and realized the growth of the game when I was here playing.

“I think it has continued to grow, fans in the stadiums in MLS, the level of quality in MLS. In England it’s quite a dated view, like MLS is down here and European football is up here. Now that gap might take time to close but I think the football here is a lot better than people at home give it credit for.”

Lampard said that the league will continue to snap up its fair share of older European stars – a category he once fell under – including the recent signing of Gareth Bale, but said that the increasing quality of homegrown North American players is what will see the league truly thrive over the long term.

“I think the more important thing than the DPs (Designated Players), and it’s great seeing Gareth here, it’s great to watch, but the important thing for the league is growing from within,” Lampard said.

“When you look at the national American players now, [Christian] Pulisic, Tyler Adams and more traveling and playing in Europe and creating this great team, and they’re putting everything together. I think it shows you that it’s going to get much stronger. The talent is already here and the sport is growing so I only see it going in one direction.”

The Toffees guaranteed Premier League survival as fans stormed the Goodison Park pitch on multiple occasions

Everton clinched Premier League safety in the most dramatic fashion imaginable, overturning a two-goal deficit to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 on Thursday.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 85th minute header ensured Everton’s survival and also led to a mid-game pitch invasion in absolutely wild scenes at Goodison Park.

The Toffees went down two goals in the first half as they appeared set to sweat out their Premier League status on the final day of the season Sunday.

But second-half goals from Michael Keane, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin secured Everton’s survival. As the referee blew his whistle for full time, fans in blue stormed the pitch yet again.
