ANTHONY GORDON has emerged as a shock target for Chelsea in their attempts to sign a striker.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury and Richarlison leaving, Lampard has moved Gordon through the middle to play as Everton's central striker. But it was under Rafael Benitez last season when Gordon became a regular in Everton's starting line-up with Frank Lampard continuing to show faith in the 21-year-old. Chelsea could reportedly strike a deal to sign Anthony Gordon 'in the coming days' despite having their opening £40million bid rejected.
One source has told Sky Sports News they have tabled a £40m bid. Everton's position during this window has been the player is not for sale.

"Especially with him being a local lad, he's the one fans are hanging their hats on. "He's the one big hope for the club.

The Manchester United squad were forced to come in for extra training after the club’s new manager Erik ten Hag cancelled the players’ day off. Manchester City will loan Liam Delap out this season and the young striker has attracted attention from a handful of English clubs. Paper Round’s view: The Barcelona situation just seems a bit silly at the moment. Gordon has just burst onto the scene and has quickly become a fans’ favourite at his boyhood club, Everton. It seems odd that Chelsea are willing to part with such a huge transfer fee for a player who has only really had one consistent season of Premier League football. The Catalan club are also hoping to sign Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso and Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva before the transfer window closes next month. The London side believe that it will be straightforward to agree personal terms with Gordon and negotiations between the clubs will continue this week.

Chelsea are now pursuing a deal to try and sign Everton forward Anthony Gordon this summer but the Blues have already seen their first offer turned down.
Meanwhile, Chelsea remain in contact with Barcelona for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and are set to ramp up their interest in the former Arsenal captain this week football.london understands. He's the sort of player we want to build to go forward with. I've said to him I don't want him to try and think he's doing pirouettes on the halfway line now. Gordon enjoyed his breakthrough season for Everton last term, where he featured 35 times in the Premier League, scoring four goals and assisting two. I didn't go searching for it, but I understand how it can feel important to you.

- 'One Team Deserved To Win' - Thomas Tuchel On Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham - Report: Chelsea Table £40m Anthony Gordon Bid With Chelsea's first £40million offer for Everton's Anthony Gordon being turned down, the Blues could come back in and offer Michy Batshuayi as part of the deal.
ANTHONY GORDON is said to have emerged as a priority target for Chelsea in recent days.
He’s our player and that was a hugely important thing to me, he’s the sort of player we want to build to go forward with. Chelsea have not yet been deterred, though, with those in power at Stamford Bridge now exploring the possibility of a swap offer to tempt the Toffees into selling up. Chelsea are weighing up the idea of proposing a swap deal to push through a move for Everton winger Anthony Gordon after seeing an initial bid rejected by the Toffees, according to reports.
Thomas Tuchel's side have shown interest in the 21-year-old winger but Everton will hold out for a higher transfer fee.
Raheem Sterling was signed for $60 million from Manchester City and is an English player at the opposite end of the scale to Gordon, with his potential mostly fulfilled. It helped that he was one of Everton’s more consistent, reliable, quick and hard-working players during the 2021/22 season, as many around him struggled. Though Gordon has been a bright spark during murky times at the club, much of his value is in his potential. If Chelsea nudge their bid towards or over the $60 million mark, it will be seen as a gamble. It’s a massive bonus for Everton that his value has risen so much. He doesn’t yet look like a player who will create and score goals at a rate to help the team put last season’s woes behind them.

The Everton forward has been linked to the Blues in the last 24 hours and it could be an intriguing deal if it comes off.
The hope of adding players into the operation should edge Boehly closer to his sixth deal for the men's side in his first summer in charge as interim sporting director. Transfermarkt indicates that the winger is only worth £18m, whilst the CIES Football Observatory has priced the Liverpool-born player at up to £25m. They are currently projected to sell their homegrown talent at £25-32m over his current market value.
The Sun' claims that Everton consider selling young Anthony Gordon to balance their books. Chelsea have been tipped as the main interested in his signing.
In principle, a move to Chelsea might seem like a step forward in his career, but he will have to consider whether he should join a dressing room with so much competition. Chelsea have emerged as the main candidates to sign him. Anthony Gordon's name may not yet be a very famous one in the football world, but there is something to consider: last season, he made 40 Premier League appearances at the age of just 21.
Chelsea are now pursuing a deal to sign Anthony Gordon from Everton but will need to increase their bid for the attacker after £40million was turned down.
"As has already been eluded to, a lot with Gordon right now is his potential rather than suggesting that he is the finished product. "While I'd defend Gordon to say he's not a blatant diver. "Rightly or wrongly, Gordon seems to have earned something of a reputation already, though, and you could suggest that if hampering him. Gordon has been heavily criticised by supporters and pundits for how easily he goes down to the floor in games. That's a hell of a lot of money." While it was a bitter pill to swallow to lose him to a Premier League rival, it was begrudgingly accepted a necessary evil to cash in at the optimum time to help re-shape the under-achieving squad.
Chelsea's sudden and big-money interest in Everton's Anthony Gordon is set to involve at least a second bid, after our initial £40m attempt had been ...
So this all could just be a ploy to get Everton to sweeten the new contract they’re trying to get him sign. It’s certainly could be a good deal for the Toffees as Lampard & Co continue to rebuild after the near-disaster of last season. Chelsea’s sudden and big-money interest in Everton’s Anthony Gordon is set to involve at least a second bid, after our initial £40m attempt had been rebuffed this weekend.
Chelsea have lodged a second bid for Anthony Gordon, with the Everton star indicating to manager Frank Lampard that he would like the improved offer to be ...
Gordon is understood to have made clear he has no interest in rivals offers or a new Everton deal, and Chelsea may also be tempted to use some of their fringe players to sweeten the deal, with striker Armando Broja and midfielder Billy Gilmour both a possibility. Everton are also aware that there has been informal contact with the 21 year old’s representatives, with Chelsea ready to offer a package that is hard to resist for the youngster. It is understood he has indicated to Frank Lampard that he is keen on a move to the London club …and wants the manager to consider the offer.
Everton have fended off interest in Gordon, 21, from Tottenham and Newcastle this summer but are now facing a fresh threat from big-spending Chelsea.
Chelsea are prepared to up their offer for Everton’s Anthony Gordon to £45m. - Anthony Gordon is not willing to sign a new deal with the club this summer Chelsea ready to up their offer for Everton youngster Anthony Gordon to £45m as they get set to test the resolve of the crisis-stricken Merseyside club
There has been interest in the forward earlier this summer from both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United as well, but Everton have stuck to their valuation ...
At the end of the day, no one player is bigger than the club, and if we could all say with ultimate certainty that we trust Everton to use the funds in a manner that would get us to become top six challengers again, then by all means go ahead and sell him. The counter argument there is that it’s time to change the psyche of this team from the lovable and hard-done losers they were last season to a more hardened fighting unit. But with only two weeks to go until the window shuts it is a high-risk strategy, especially with the club already short of creativity and goals. But if we do sell for £50m or so we have to have a plan. I’d ordinarily say take a £40m bid but the obvious thing is that we can get £50m or near it from Chelsea or Newcastle so I’d definitely sell but hold out for nearer 50. Gordon is a great kid and very popular with the fans.

Everton have fought off interest from a number of clubs over Gordon, who made his debut for the club aged just 16.
