      Gordon’s form has been patchy this season
      Newcastle have returned to the negotiating table following their interest in the summer.
      Everton had been hoping to get a fee of around £60million for the winger.
      However, after Gordon missed training for the third day in a row, the club are set to be forced to accept lower offers.
      According to The Telegraph, this rebellious attitude – with Gordon telling the club he does not want to return – has weakened Everton’s position.

      This means that instead of holding out for a package worth £60m, they are only likely to be able to fetch £40m.
      With the window slamming shut in a number of days, Everton need to sell Gordon in order to make funds available for their next manager to spend before the deadline.
      Gordon has scored three times in the Premier League this season from 16 games but has failed to add any assists to this tally – not helped by creating just 0.5 Expected Assists.

      These include; Marcelo Bielsa, Sean Dyche, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Carlo Ancelotti’s son, Davide.

      The midfielder, 24, is understood to have given the green light to a move, which would see him link up with his US team-mates Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson.
      Leeds are optimistic they can strike a deal for World Cup star McKennie, who has also caught the eye of Arsenal and Aston Villa.
      The midfielder joined Juventus on loan from Schalke in 2020 until his move became permanent a year later.
      McKennie has since amassed a total of 13 goals and five assists in 96 appearances across all competitions.

      The Leeds boss said: “He’s an important guy for us and it’s  clear we need him.”

      That is despite a change of management, with Duncan Ferguson the new boss at the eco-friendly League One basement boys.
      But according to the Manchester Evening News, the Red Devils are keen for another quartet of their rising stars to go out on loan to gain first-team action.
      Erik ten Hag does not plan to use the youngsters in his team in their quest to secure Champions League football next term.
      And therefore the players are in talks to secure temporary exits away from Old Trafford.

      Charlie McNeill has caught the eye of a number of League One and League Two sides and will join a club that can guarantee him regular minutes.
      The 19-year-old striker went on a work experience loan to Sheffield Wednesday last season which permitted him to train but not play official matches.
      Defenders Di’Shon Bernard and Bjorn Hardley are in a similar position to McNeill and are keen to get some action to continue their development.
      United will only allow the duo loan moves if minutes are secured – but could even sell them if the right offer came in.

      Lastly, Zidane Iqbal is another exciting talent gaining plenty of attention.
      Iqbal made his first-team debut in the Champions League draw with Young Boys in December 2021 as Ralf Rangnick also brought Savage, Shola Shoretire and Teden Mengi off the bench – plus veteran goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
      Iqbal has not played since but now trains with the first-team stars and is considered part of the senior squad.
      Ten Hag only has five midfielders more experienced than Iqbal available for the rest of the season following Donny van de Beek’s injury – and therefore is reluctant to risk being left short as the club targets silverware.

      “I was a bit disappointed but not disappointed that Arsenal went ‘that’s fine’.
      “He’s gone there for money, I’m not going to blame him because he’s someone who has had a lot more going on around him personally and in his life.
