The summer transfer window is here, and there’s plenty of gossip swirling about who’s moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Gordon still on Chelsea radar
Chelsea are discussing a second approach for Anthony Gordon after they had an initial offer worth £40 million turned down by Everton, writes Fabrizio Romano.
The 21-year-old winger’s future has been cast into doubt this summer with a number of teams interested in him, but after Frank Lampard’s side stood firm against enquiries from Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United, the latest indicates that they could be set to face further pressure in the battle to keep him at Goodison Park.
CBS have suggested that the Toffees value Gordon at £50m, but despite Newcastle United previously having their enquiry turned down, Eddie Howe’s side are keen to land him, and could be prepared to re-join the race if Chelsea have an offer accepted.
Thomas Tuchel is prepared to offer players as part of an exchange deal, though early indications report that Everton would not be interested in reuniting with Ross Barkley.
Gordon scored four goals from 35 appearances in the Premier League last season.
