TOTTENHAM are weighing up a January move for Everton winger Anthony Gordon.
Spurs were keen in the summer but the Toffees brushed away their interest â as well as a £40million bid from Chelsea.
Everton boss Frank Lampard is a huge fan of Gordon, 21, who has three goals this season.
And Lamps remains desperate to keep the England Under-21 international at Goodison Park long term.
Yet there are concerns at the club that the summer interest may have proved a distraction.
Spurs boss Antonio Conte is considering testing Evertonâs resolve in January and early enquiries have already been made over a move.
Conte was keen to add another creative player in the summer and Spurs struggled following Dejan Kulusevskiâs injury.
Lampardâs affection for Gordon â a homegrown talent â means there will be a huge price tag if they are to allow a deal.
Tottenham paid Everton £60m for Richarlison and Goodison chiefs will want a similar fee again.
Everton opened contract talks with Gordon in an attempt to secure his future â though no deal has been struck yet.

Chelsea, under new boss Graham Potter, are not thought to be keen to revive their interest in the January window.
That could leave Spurs with a free run at him.
Despite concerns about his focus, Gordon has always insisted that he is in no rush to leave.
Speaking in September, he said of Chelseaâs interest: âI wasnât too focused on that as I can only control what I can control.
âBut I was never desperate to leave Everton.â
