Report: Everton could loan Anthony Gordon out; Championship clubs keen

Everton are considering letting Anthony Gordon leave Goodison Park on loan this month, with The Telegraph reporting that clubs in the Championship are interested in the 18-year-old.

Gordon is awaiting the chance to make his Premier League debut for the Toffees. But the teenager has featured for the first-team on a couple of occasions over the last couple of years.

He has however, caught the eye for the under-23s. The forward has scored six goals in nine Premier League 2 games this term. And it appears that he could be given the chance to impress elsewhere in the near future.

The Telegraph reports that clubs in the second tier are keen on Gordon as they look to sign a striker. And the Toffees are now considering whether to let him leave for the rest of the campaign.

TBR View – Gordon faces tough decision

While Gordon is yet to make his league debut for Everton, it does appear that he is in Carlo Ancelotti’s thoughts.

He was named on the bench for the Toffees’ defeat to Manchester City at the start of the month. So it would perhaps be little surprise if he did feature in the top flight before the campaign concluded.

So deciding whether to head out on loan may be a tough decision for the teenager. He would surely enjoy a lot more game-time elsewhere, and Everton should make sure to get assurances over how often he will play. But he must also be tempted to stick around.

Picking the right club for him to join may not be easy as some sides in the Championship may feel that they are taking a gamble on him given his lack of experience.

So while a loan move could ultimately prove inspired, perhaps he should not be too disappointed if he actually remains in Ancelotti’s ranks as the deadline passes.
