Everton fans have reacted after pictures of Anthony Gordon training with the first team at Finch Farm emerged on the club's official Twitter account.

For some time now, the Everton faithful have wanted Gordon to make the jump to the senior squad having impressed with the U23s. The 18-year-old has six goals and three assists in 10 games this season, and the poor form of others has thrust him into the limelight.

The likes of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Alex Iwobi from attacking midfield have just a goal each in the league so far, with the Iceland international providing one assist as well.

Recently, Gordon spoke about his opportunities with the first team but stated how he and Marco Silva "don't speak" about his chances with the first-team.

However, fans clearly want him to come up now more than ever.

Many fans have stated their desire to see him play, as one supporter even said he is "better than Barkley", whilst another follower stated he expects to see him against the Saints.

The clash down at St. Mary's is one of the biggest of the season, as a loss for the Toffees would put them on the same points as the relegation-sitting club in the table.

Here's what the Everton fans have had to say about Gordon this time...
