Anthony Gordon to Chelsea has certainly been a transfer link that came left-field, with no one really expecting it, but the latest indications are that Todd Boehly is serious about signing the Everton forward this summer as part of the squad rebuild.
The west Londoners have started the new Premier League season with a reasonable four points collected from their first two games against Everton and Tottenham. During Sunday's controversial 2-2 draw against the Lilywhites, the news came through that Chelsea had seen a first £40million bid rejected for the 21-year-old.
football.london now understands that alongside Barcelona's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Blues want to sign at least one more new attacker to compensate for the potential losses of both Hakim Ziyech and Callum Hudson-Odoi, who appear keen to find new clubs before the September 1 deadline.
