Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours

“That’s football nowadays - it’s absolutely crazy. Personally, I don’t think any player is worth that amount of money but I’m also not going to talk myself down. I wasn’t too focused on that because I can only control what I can control. You need to stay humble. You need to focus on today and tomorrow and don’t look too far into the future.
“That’s part and parcel of football. When you’re doing well, there’s always going to be that speculation. But because the place (Everton) is so good, it’s not a place where I’m devastated because I have to stay. That’s never been the case. I was never desperate to leave Everton. It was definitely not the case.” - Anthony Gordon on the £60 million bid from Chelsea, and him staying with the Toffees. [Evening Standard]

“What excites me most about Everton Stadium is urban regeneration. This part of Liverpool has been in decay for decades. The very fine docks and surrounding warehouses are largely unused and closed to the public. I hope and believe that the ripple event of Everton’s new home in that location will be transformational to the waterfront and city as a whole.” - Dipesh Patel, Principal of Everton Stadium technical architects BDP Pattern.
