Everton boss Frank Lampard has already explained why Chelsea are so eager to complete the signing of Anthony Gordon. The 21-year-old winger has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge in the latter stages of the summer as Thomas Tuchel looks to further bolster his squad.
football.london understand that the west Londoners are in talks with the Toffees to sign Gordon. It's said that Chelsea saw a bid in the region of £45million turned down by Everton, who are insistent that they will not entertain offers for the England youth international.
It's also understood that Gordon wants a move to the Blues before the transfer window slams shut at the start of next month. Though, it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will test the Merseyside club's resolve and table a newly-improved offer.
