Chelsea is very active this summer. Although two rounds have already passed in the Premier League, the Blues want to strengthen at the end of the market. They picked up the talented winger from Everton, Anthony Gordon, who is only 21 years old. Sky Sports reported that the original offer was sent to Goodison Park – 47 million euros. So far, Toffies have been reluctant to sell, they say that the talented offensive player is not for sale, but the same media speculates that Everton would be ready for talks if the offer was around 60 million.Chelsea have had a $48M bid rejected for Everton’s Anthony Gordon but are expected to increase their offer for the 21-year-old forward, per multiple reports pic.twitter.com/YrobydtJmT— B/R Football (@brfootball) August 14, 2022 Gordon has been a target for Tottenham this summer. The Spurs wanted him in a package with the Brazilian Richarlison, but the team from Liverpool was not ready to give up the young Englishman. Also, Newcastle wanted him but didn’t make an official offer. Looking at the first offer from Chelsea, the Magpies would never give that kind of sum.Crazy stuff! Tuchel and Conte go nose-to-nose as Kane scores a stoppage-time equaliserThe Englishman has been the key player for Everton in these two rounds, he played the “false nine” due to Dominic Calvert Lewin’s knee injury. He scored four goals in 51 games in the Toffies jersey. Modest performance, but yet, the price is there, just like with Marc Cucurella, who was bought for a whopping 73 million euros after one good season in the Premier League. Gordon is a child of Merseyside, even thou he started in the younger categories of Liverpool. He was at Anfield for five years, and since 2017 he has been at Goodison. He was on loan at Preston last year and is currently a young Albion representative.Everton bring their biggest reinforcement yet – Onana for 40 millionFormer Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher thinks that the Toffies must reject all bids for Gordon and keep him in the club.“It’s a lot of money for a young player, just coming onto the scene. But I don’t see how Everton can accept that. They’ve lost their first two games, they know it’s going to be difficult season. They need an attacking player coming in, so there’s no way they can let him go. He’s the local lad, he’s the one they’re hanging their hats on as supporters really. So, I mean it would have to be a lot higher than that for Everton to sanction that.” He can’t go. No matter the bid, no matter the reason or the negotiation, he simply cannot leave this summer. They’ve already rejected big bids, and that needs to continue” said Carragher to Sky Sports.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 2SaturdayAston Villa – Everton 2-1 (1-0)/Ings 31, Buendia 85 – Digne 87 og/Arsenal – Leicester 4-2 (2-0)/Jesus 22, 35, Xhaka 55, Martinelli 75 – Saliba 53 og, Maddison 74/Brighton – Newcastle 0-0Manchester City – Bournemouth 4-0 (3-0)/Gundogan 19, De Bruyne 31, Foden 37.
