Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing £50million-rated Everton youngster Anthony Gordon this summer. The Toffees are believed to have held internal discussions over Blues outcasts Michy Batshuayi and Armando Broja, who could be introduced as part of the prospective deal. 

Gordon has attracted plenty of Premier League interest over the past few weeks with Tottenham and Newcastle United both trying their luck. Spurs were turned away when they tried to include him as part of the deal that saw Richarlison move to north London, while the Magpies’ £35m offer for the speedy winger was considered insufficient. 

Now, The Times claim that free-spending Chelsea have joined the party as the club’s new owners look to add youth to the squad. Gordon, 21, has become a regular fixture in Everton’s starting line-up and played in each of the Toffees’ first two Premier League games up top in Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s absence. 

Chelsea supposedly have two players that Everton are keen on, with both Batshuayi and Broja of interest. The Blues could therefore exploit that by seeking to include them as part of an approach for Gordon, who the Toffees want to keep hold of. 

Despite links going quiet, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is still thought to be monitoring Gordon with a view to making a move later in the window. But Chelsea’s out-of-favour attacking duo could be used to their advantage with Everton desperately short of striker options. 

The Toffees have already ruled out signing Ross Barkley this summer with the midfielder poised to leave Stamford Bridge. Thomas Tuchel fought for Broja earlier this summer when West Ham submitted a £30m bid and Real Madrid enquired about his availability.
