Gary Neville has reacted to rumours that Chelsea are prepared to up the ante in the Anthony Gordon transfer race amid interest from Tottenham.
football.london understands that the Blues have so far had bids in the region of £40million and £45m turned down by the Toffees outright as they hold out for a fee in the region of £50-60m. It's a bold asking price that Frank Lampard hoped would scare off suitors. However, this plan seemingly hasn't worked as two London clubs are circling around the player with less than two weeks to go in this summer's transfer window.
Sky Sports have reported that Todd Boehly is prepared to go to the £60m mark for Gordon when add-ons are taken into account which will likely rule out the possibilities of seeing other players go the other way in what could have been a player plus cash deal with Everton keen admirers of the likes of Michy Batshuayi, Armando Broja and Billy Gilmour. Gordon, 21, has dropped multiple hints that he wants to move on from Merseyside and the latest one dropped on his Instagram suggests that an exit before September 1 is likely.
