Chelsea Edging Closer To Anthony Gordon Deal

Chelsea Edging Closer To Anthony Gordon Deal

Conversations for Anthony Gordon have been ongoing between Everton and Chelsea and it is reported Chelsea are now willing to increase their offer.

Earlier this month, Everton rejected Chelsea’s initial bid of around £40m-£45m for the Everton no. 10.

A new contract from Everton still remains on the table for Gordon, whose current Everton deal expires in June 2025.

Frank Lampard has to strengthen his forward options before the transfer window closes, and a prospective deal would provide the funds to do so.

This summer, Thomas Tuchel’s side have spent a league-high £176.5m on new recruits, mostly on three first-team players.

Marc Cucurella (£63m), Raheem Sterling (£47.5m), and Kalidou Koulibaly (£34m) are the new additions to the team.

How Good Is Anthony Gordon?

Gordon has started each of Everton’s three Premier League games so far this season, occasionally filling in as a false No. 9 while Dominic Calvert-Lewin recovers from a knee injury.

Gordon who has played for Everton in 52 Premier League games has four goals and three assists to his name.

In December of last year, Jarrad Branthwaite scored an equalizer at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea as a result of his free kick.

Meanwhile, Anthony Gordon has made his intentions to leave Merseyside for London known to Everton.

According to a report from Sky Sports, Everton is no longer hopeful of convincing the England youngster to agree to a better contract and are already considering cashing in and using the proceeds to support other important transfers before September 1.
