Gordon is attracting admiring glances again, with Premier League leaders Arsenal said to form part of an ever-growing list of suitors. They will have been impressed by the jet-heeled winger’s four-goal salvo against Qarabag.
A man hoping to make another England squad this summer for the 2026 World Cup is, however, turning a deaf ear and blind eye to any reports of a big-money transfer being lined up.
He said when asked about his future: “It’s the same old, same old. I haven’t heard anything, they might want to tell me before they tell you (the media). I have gone through enough transfer stuff now to know that it is all a load of rubbish.
“I am focused on me and focused on the team, I am focused on right now. You look too far in the future and you start to underperform. And believe me I have done that (before) and I am not going to do that now.”
