Chelsea face transfer battle with Tottenham for in-demand £40m attacker as double-deal fails

Chelsea face competition if they are to reignite their interest in Everton forward Anthony Gordon, football.london understands.

The 21-year-old was heavily pursued by Thomas Tuchel after the Blues won 1-0 at Goodison Park on the opening day of the league season in August but remained in Merseyside as Chelsea backed out due to a difference in value for the attacker.

Gordon looked to prove Chelsea wrong, scoring twice in the weeks after the £40m move was first revealed, but hasn't had the desired impact since, scoring just once in nine matches since. Tuchel, who was a big advocate for the Englishman having been impressed with his energy during two matches across last season and this season, has left though, and Graham Potter may not be as interested.
