Chelsea are set to submit an improved offer for Everton starlet Anthony Gordon after an initial £45million bid was rejected.
The Toffees do not want to sell Gordon after already losing Richarlison this summer with the Brazilian joining Premier League rivals Tottenham. Spurs were interested in signing Gordon as well but refused to meet Everton's valuation of £50million for the 21-year-old.
The Blues opening offer was rejected out of hand by Goodison chiefs, but Chelsea are set to return with an improved offer that is closer to the Toffees' valuation of the rising England star. Todd Boehly is showing clear signs of support for Thomas Tuchel who is keen to bolster his attacking options this summer after missing out on a deal for Raphinha, with the Blues currently pursuing a deal for Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as well, football.london understands.
