Chelsea target advised to follow his heart

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has reacted to Chelsea’s transfer move for Everton’s Anthony Gordon this summer.

Merson advised Gordon to follow his heart in regards to his summer link to Chelsea.

It is no longer news that the Blues want the deal done before the end of the window on Thursday and are ready to pay around £60m for the 21-year-old.

Gordon on his part also favours a move to Stamford Bridge as he wants to play in the Champions League.

Merson, however, believes, Gordon may not get the same game time he is enjoying at Everton at Chelsea even though he would get more wages.

“I think he [Gordon] will leave for Chelsea tomorrow morning if he has the chance.

“Anthony Gordon’s a hero at Everton. He’ll play every week, and he’ll be a big fish in a small pond. Will he go to Chelsea to sit on the bench and not play?” Merson told Sportskeeda.
