Everton manager Marco Silva should consider beginning to integrate youngster Anthony Gordon to senior football, as Champions League club Borussia Dortmund reportedly aim a swoop for him.

According to the Daily Mail, Bundesliga giants Dortmund are keen on snapping up the midfielder and have enjoyed success with young English talent Jadon Sancho already.

The report details that Bayern Munich and Arsenal have also had their attention on the 17-year-old, which is why the Merseyside club need to act quickly.

Silva needs to draw up a plan for the attacking midfielder that shows there is a clear path to the first team in the future.

The England Under-18 international moved up to Everton’s Under-23s side and should be in the picture for a fringe role of the senior squad at the very least.

Gordon is a midfield playmaker that will be well aware English stars are beginning to flourish out in Germany, but is a product of the Everton academy they can’t afford to lose.

Tom Davies is a current first-team member to come through the youth ranks and historically the Toffees have always been good at promoting youth.

Everton may need to fast-track Gordon to keep him on their books and get him prepared for a second first-team appearance, with his first coming off the bench last season for the last few moments of a Europa League fixture against Apollon Limassol.
