After receiving a £60 million bid from Chelsea last summer, Everton is “seeking to offer Anthony Gordon a new deal,” but the Blues are having trouble coming to an agreement with the winger because he demanded “£100,000-a-week wages.”
Anthony Gordon’s contract negotiations with Everton “had reached an impasse” as the 21-year-old demanded “£100,000-a-week.”
Gordon has established himself as an important player for the Toffees despite his youth and hasn’t missed many games since the start of the previous campaign.

He has four goals in nine games for England Under 21 and is one of the brightest young prospects in the nation.
Everton’s Anthony Gordon hasn’t missed many games since the beginning of the previous campaign.
The Toffees want to keep him, but contract negotiations have become stuck because of his wage expectations.
Last summer, the winger was rumored to be on the verge of a £60 million transfer to Chelsea, but Everton wants to reward him for remaining at Goodison Park.
Everton is reportedly eager to increase Gordon’s income after seeing his willing performances, but negotiations have slowed after the Liverpool-born superstar requested a salary of “£100k-a-week.”
They claim that Gordon’s team believes that these pay requests accurately represent the high regard in which he was held last summer.
Gordon, whose current contract has two years remaining, has requested a salary of “£100,000 a week.”
Everton has had a really strong start to the season and is currently ranked 14th in the league after losing their past two matches to Manchester United and Tottenham.
The Toffees have been strong defensively but have had trouble scoring; Gordon is now the team’s leading scorer despite only scoring twice.
As Frank Lampard works to develop a long-term strategy for Everton, keeping offensive talent like him could be essential.
