Playing 14 times for <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2021\/01\/28\/yannick-bolasie-joins-middlesbrough-on-loan-from-everton\/\" target=\"_self\">Everton<\/a> so far, he has impressed many with his showings and the Toffees are now ready to let him leave to pursue more regular football.<\/p>\n<p>Gordon has also lit up the Premier League Division 2. It may be the reserve league but with ten goal contributions in 15 starts for Everton\u2019s reserves, it shows that he certainly knows where the back of the net is.<\/p>\n<p>The winger is now on the radar of a host of Championship clubs but it is Bournemouth, Blackburn and Preston who are the three most eager to bring him in before the close of the current winter transfer window.<\/p>\n<h3>Gordon Allowed to Leave Everton on Loan<\/h3>\n<p>Gordon would only be able to leave on a short-term deal, meaning that any transfer for the player would be a loan until the end of the current campaign.<\/p>\n<p>However, all three would no doubt be happy to add him to their squad even if it is just until the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<h3>The Three Championship Sides Happy to Have Anthony Gordon Until The Summer Transfer Window<\/h3>\n<p>Although he has yet to go out on loan and experience regular football, Gordon is highly regarded at Everton and, when given the chance by the Toffees, he has shown that he could have what it takes to play at a good level. However, a move to the second tier would be a welcome test for the youngster.<\/p>\n<p>This year he has featured just three times so far and boss Carlo Ancelotti believes he would be well-served finding football elsewhere &#8211; and Bournemouth, Blackburn and Preston are only too happy to oblige with it.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"REBrzGd8QJFo1RbNacnGdA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1272869308\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'REBrzGd8QJFo1RbNacnGdA',sig:'mkwlnHoPzgJwARXXJCao9aiNZZEdrDzUMslmNiHc_qU=',w:'594px',h:'359px',items:'1272869308',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Championship clubs Bournemouth, Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End are all chasing a transfer deal for Everton winger\u00a0Anthony Gordon this transfer window, according to reports.
