What Thomas Tuchel sees in Anthony Gordon goes beyond the 21-year-old's ability to score goals and create chances. In the young Liverpudlian, Chelsea have spotted someone with the characteristics to make him a great addition to the team at Stamford Bridge. Something Tuchel values much more than just possessing talented individuals.
Todd Boehly has been given the task of negotiating a deal for Gordon, who only has four Premier League goals to his name, alongside a more experienced drive for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. This is to not only bring flexibility and speed to the Chelsea attack but also intangible qualities and a relationship with his players that Tuchel thrives off.
Although the asking price for Gordon could bring a deal to be worth more than £10m per league goal he has scored - with £50m believed as the number which would tempt the Toffees into selling their local star - Chelsea, Tuchel and Boehly haven't been against spending large sums of money on young players.
