Everton MUST keep Anthony Gordon, insists former Toffees goalkeeper Tim Howard... but claims if the $71m Chelsea target does leave 'they have to get something in return'

USMNT legend and former Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard has said that the club must keep its star winger Anthony Gordon, or at least make sure they get something good back from Chelsea if he does depart.

Chelsea have been very interested in Gordon and reports state they would be willing to pay up to $71million for the 21-year old but Everton want more.

'They've got to keep Gordon, they've got to keep him,' Howard told NBC following their 1-1 draw with Leeds Tuesday.
