Chelsea’s pursuit of Everton star Anthony Gordon is ‘heating up’ according to transfer insider Dean Jones, with ‘the next few days’ being potentially decisive, although there are other players on the club’s radar.
It was reported by The Times last week that Chelsea had seen a second bid worth £45m for the 21-year-old rejected by the Toffees, following a failed £50m offer.
Ahead of Everton’s draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Goodison Park gaffer Frank Lampard appeared to issue a hands-off warning regarding the winger, refusing to be drawn on discussing his future and insisting he’s seen as a player of ‘huge value’ to the team.
Nonetheless, it appears Chelsea still have Gordon in their sights. Football Insider have reported that the west Londoners are ready to table a £50m offer.
