Rated at £60million, Gordon was one of the most sought-after forwards in the summer transfer window. It is believed that Chelsea tried to sign the 21-year-old on a couple of occasions, only to return empty-handed.
With about seven weeks left before the 2022 FIFA World Cup commences, Gordon has set sights on booking an unlikely ticket to Qatar. Having missed out on England’s final’s squad before the big event, Gordon acknowledges that it is a long shot. But he is fully determined to try his best and give England coach Gareth Southgate something to think about. The Under-21 forward told The Sun:
Gordon added:
The Everton left-winger has thus far featured in 67 games for the senior team across competitions, recording six goals and eight assists.
Anthony Gordon does not want to leave England U-21 team behind even if he’s picked for the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Although Gordon is pushing to earn a place in the Three Lions’ senior team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, he is not ready to bid the U-21 side goodbye. Gordon said that he would like to represent the Three Lions in the Under-21 European Championship next summer even if he’s called up by Southgate in November.
Gordon added:
Gordon played six U-21 European Championship qualifiers, scoring four goals and claiming an assist. England, who qualified for the tournament as Group G toppers, picked up 25 points from 10 matches.
