Anthony Gordon has told Everton that he will not return to his boyhood club as he looks to push for a move away from Goodison Park. Chelsea had attempted to sign the 21-year-old last summer and could reignite their interest before Deadline Day, with Newcastle also pushing to sign the Toffees star.
Everton are in disarray at the moment after parting ways with Frank Lampard with the club currently sat joint-bottom of the Premier League table. Chelsea have been linked with a move for Gordon's teammate, Amadou Onana, but the latest reports suggest the midfielder has rejected a move to Stamford Bridge.
The Blues have shown they are in the market for talented youngsters since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital completed a £4.25billion takeover of the club. Gordon could now become the latest arrival at Chelsea after he issued a firm transfer stance in the hope of securing an exit from Merseyside.
