According to talkSPORT, Chelsea may rekindle their interest in Anthony Gordon. It has been four years since his last transfer failed, Hupu News on April 28.
The 25-year-old could leave Newcastle this summer after three and a half years at St James' Park. Gordon is Newcastle's top scorer this season, scoring 17 goals in 46 games in all competitions, and also contributed 5 assists.
Gordon's performances sparked a transfer scramble for the England international amid a disappointing season for the club on Tyneside. talkSPORT understands Newcastle are willing to sell Gordon if they receive an offer of around £75 million.
It is said that Bayern Munich of the Bundesliga intends to further promote the existing interest in the winger, whose contract with the former Newcastle United in the Premier League is signed in 2030. Moreover, the sports media talkSPORT reported in February that Liverpool in the Premier League has always been interested in poaching this player who has been a Red Army fan since he was a child.
There is another team that has scandals with Gordon, and that is Arsenal. Known as the Gunners, it hopes to improve its offensive strength on the left and is looking for a stronger option than Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
At this time, Chelsea may join this competition. They are thinking about strengthening their attacking formation and have not ruled out the possibility of making an offer to Gordon. Although Chelsea introduced Ganaccio and Gittens to play on the left wing last summer, neither of them made a deep impression. The west London team will also welcome Kunda, signed from Sporting CP, who they agreed to pay £44 million to sign last year.
If Chelsea fails to qualify for the Champions League, it will have to wait and see whether Gordon is willing to move to Stamford Bridge. At the moment, Chelsea are fighting to qualify for the European war. They are ranked eighth with four rounds of the league left. Having lost five consecutive Premier League games without scoring a goal, the Blues have dropped down the rankings and are now 10 points behind the Champions League.
Currently, their best chance of securing a spot in the Champions League lies in finishing sixth and hoping that fifth-placed Aston Villa can win the Europa League to achieve their goal.
Chelsea has been interested in Gordon for a long time. As early as 2022, when he was still playing for Everton, the Blues almost signed him at that time. At the end of the year, towards the end of the summer transfer window, Chelsea raised their offer to £60 million after their offer of £40 million was rejected. However, Everton refused to sell him – but a few months later, Newcastle signed him for a maximum price of £45 million.
Gordon, who was revealed in November 2024, said at that time that he was "extremely eager" to join Chelsea to play for current England coach Tuchel. Because Gordon can play multiple positions such as right winger and center, he is still an attractive option for Chelsea.
According to what is known, Chelsea will target players this summer who have already shown their value in the Premier League. As a result, this will be a busy transfer window for the club.
