Everton winger Anthony Gordon has dropped the biggest hint yet that his £50million Chelsea transfer move will go through this summer before the September 1 deadline.
football.london understands that the Blues have had two bids in the region of £40m and £45m rejected for the young forward with the asking price set at around £50m. Todd Boehly is understood to want to include a few fringe players in the deal to reach the full valuation with Frank Lampard reportedly interested in the likes of Michy Batshuyai, Armando Broja and Billy Gilmour respectively.
So far, no agreement has been reached between the two clubs but talks are set to intensify not only with Gordon but also with the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Wesley Fofana after the Blues' poor 3-0 defeat over the weekend at Leeds United. Manager Thomas Tuchel was not keen to use the transfer window as an excuse and as a direct solution to his sides woes in his post-match press conference but the understanding behind the scenes is that he's desperate for Boehly to at least bring in three more recruits before the window slams shut for business.
