Gareth Southgate is set to keep an eye on the performances of Everton winger Anthony Gordon over the next few weeks with a view to calling him up to the England squad.

That’s according to Daily Mail, who claim that Southgate will be paying particular attention to Everton winger Gordon over the next few weeks before he announces his World Cup squad.

This news arrives after an impressive performance for England U21s in midweek, with Gordon laying on two assists including Conor Gallagher’s winner.

Gordon played a pivotal role in helping Everton stay in the Premier League last season. His performances have attracted the interest of not only Southgate, but the recruitment team at Chelsea.

According to Fabrizio Romano, speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside via his Substack column, Chelsea did make an offer for the England youth winger during the summer transfer window.

With such intense competition for places in the England squad, it seems unlikely that Gordon will be flying to Qatar in November, but there’s no way to predict how well he’s going to perform over the next few weeks.
