Chelsea are ready to pay a mammoth £60 million to get young Everton winger Anthony Gordon on board and the 21-year-old is willing.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea, who have had an ordinary run so far in the Premier League with three points in as many games, saw four approaches for Gordon knocked back by his current club but haven’t given up hope yet.
The report said that while Chelsea have had £45 million plus £5 million add-ons proposal declined, they have come back with an even higher offer of a guaranteed £50 million with a further £10 million in add-ons for the youngster.
The latest move made by Chelsea is predicted to have brought the two clubs closer on their valuations of Gordon and encouraged the London club to get the man before the approaching transfer deadline.
Perhaps, Gordon’s keenness to join Chelsea has bolstered the Stamford Bridge club more and he has already spoken to Everton manager Frank Lampard and the club whether a deal could be made between the two clubs.
If he gets to play for Chelsea, Gordon’s chances of playing for the England senior team would be heightened. He has already played for the Three Lions at the junior level — from Under-18 upto Under-21.
The Daily Mail also said in the report that Everton sought a fee over £50 million for Gordon for whom clubs such as Tottenham and Newcastle had shown interest earlier in the window.
