Chelsea want to sign Everton forward

Chelsea have made a £43m offer to sign Everton youngster Anthony Gordon.

The Everton forward has for quite some time been a target for Newcastle but the Premier League giants are presently keen to sign the 21-year-old forward from the desperate Toffees.

It is not clear how Everton will respond to the approach with Frank Lampard wanting to keep the England Under-21 international regardless of interest from Chelsea.

The move adds Gordon to an extensive list of Chelsea targets with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang another key target in attack.

Chelsea are also interested in Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong who has for quite some time been Manchester United’s midfield target.

Thomas Tuchel also wants to add a defender and has seen two offers rising to £70m turned down by Leicester City for Wesley Fofana.

The Chelsea manager wants to add another player but ideally more with a few members from his squad plotting for moves.

Among those pushing to leave are attackers Callum Hudson-Odoi and Hakim Ziyech.
