Tottenham had wanted to sign Richarlison and the 21-year-old to a package deal for £80million earlier this summer, but Everton weren’t interested in selling him at the time.
Newcastle also approached, but did not make a formal bid.
Gordon has started both of Everton’s last two Premier League games this season, playing as a false number nine in the absence of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has recovered from a knee injury.
£40m for a 21-year-old who has played 51 Premier League games? He hasn’t set Heather on fire yet.
Gordon has scored four goals in 51 Premier League appearances for Everton.
It was his free-kick that scored Jarad Branthwaite’s equalizer against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last December.
Sky Sports’ Graeme Souness said:
“He’s a dribbler and he’s fast enough. For me, he hits the ground a little too easily, but for someone who’s only played 50 games, it’s a lot of money. Top man.”
‘Everton can’t afford to let Gordon go’
Gordon’s shot ruled out for offside against Aston Villa
Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher:
“It’s a lot of money (£40million) for a young player who’s just emerging on the scene, but I don’t know how Everton will take it. It’s their current position with a lack of attacking players.”
“He is the club’s only great hope. The supporters are not deaf at Everton. They have lost their first two games and they know they are going to have a difficult season. They are attacking. They need a good player to come in, so there’s no way they can let him go.
“Especially because he’s a local kid and he’s the one the fans wear hats for.

“They want some young players and some experienced players. In terms of being a recognized centre-forward, he’s neither the type of player that’s being talked about nor the answer.”
