Everton's Anthony Gordon is NOT for sale says Frank Lampard amid interest from Chelsea, as Dele Alli departs for Besiktas on loan with an option to buy just seven months after he joined the Toffees from Spurs

Everton manager Frank Lampard insists Chelsea target Anthony Gordon is not for sale, but cannot offer any assurances the player will still be at the club at the end of the transfer window.

The Toffees have rejected two offers, the last £45million, for the 21-year-old academy graduate but that does not appear to have deflected the attentions of the Stamford Bridge club.

However, Lampard rates the player highly and does not want to see him leave.

The same cannot be said of Dele Alli, whose frustratingly short spell at the club since signing on deadline day in January appears to be at an end, as Everton have agreed a loan to Besiktas with an option to buy, with the final decision on the move now resting with the player.
