Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha has questioned Chelsea’s pursuit of Anthony Gordon by claiming the Everton winger ‘doesn’t fit’ in Thomas Tuchel’s side.
The London club reportedly had a £40million offer rejected for Gordon on Sunday afternoon and there are said to be internal discussions at Stamford Bridge over whether to return with a second improved bid of £50million.
New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly could also float the idea of a player-plus-cash offer - with Everton ,manager Frank Lampard known to be keen on the likes of Armando Broja, Connor Gallagher and Billy Gilmour. Such deals, however, are rare in modern football.
