Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan believes Chelsea should not be considered an 'irresistible' destination for Anthony Gordon as speculation continues over his Everton future.
The Blues have already rejected an opening offer worth in excess of £40m for Gordon, who has also been linked with moves to Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur this summer. It is anticipated that Chelsea will continue to pursue a deal for the 21-year-old despite Everton's reluctance to sell.
Gordon was handed the No.10 shirt by the Blues this summer and is expected to take on a greater responsibility within Frank Lampard's side should he remain at Goodison Park for the remainder of the campaign. And while Chelsea are expected to be fighting it out at the top of the table, Jordan is convinced now is not the right time for such a deal to take place.
