Everton have already rejected a £40 million bid from Thomas Tuchel’s side for their academy graduate. Manager Frank Lampard wants to keep the young Englishman at the club this summer.

Gordon had a breakout 2021-22 campaign for Everton, registering four goals and three assists in 40 games across competitions. He was one of the bright sparks in Lampard’s team that avoided relegation by just four points.
Chelsea looking to complete three deals before end of transfer window
According to Fabrizio Romano, Thomas Tuchel’s side are looking to sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Wesley Fofana and Cesare Casadei this summer. While the former two are their priorities, the Blues are set to engage with Inter Milan next week to sign Casadei.
The Italian youngster had an impressive 2021-22 campaign with the Nerazzurri, registering 16 goals and five assists in 39 games across competitions.
The west London side have made five signings so far this summer. They have brought in Kalidou Koulibaly, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Slonina, Carney Chukwuemeka and Marc Cucurella. However, they also saw Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku leave.
Needless to say, they need reinforcements in defence and attack. Aubameyang and Fofana could come in handy, but with two weeks left in the transfer window, the Blues will have to be quick to complete the deals.
