Targeted By Chelsea With IDR875 Billion Transfer, Anthony Gordon Removes Everton Link On Instagram Account

JAKARTA - Everton striker Anthony Gordon is currently in Chelsea's sights. The player then signaled his interest in the Blues via social media by deleting the link to the club he currently plays for.

Quoted from The Sun, Tuesday, Chelsea reportedly twice made an offer to Everton to bring Gordon. The first offer is worth 40 million pounds (Rp 700 billion), while the second offer is worth 45 million pounds (Rp 788 billion).

However, Frank Lampard's team rejected the Blues' offer because they were determined to keep the player. Everton are also adamant they will not accept any more offers after previously Tottenham Hotspurs and Newcastle also showed interest.

Although Everton expressed refusal, the opposite was shown by Gordon. The 21-year-old has indicated that he is ready to move to London for either Spurs or Chelsea. In fact, his contract at Everton still has three years remaining.

Everton are looking to keep Gordon as they have sold Richarlison to Spurs for £60 million. Gordon has become an important player for Everton as Dominic Calvert-Lewin has also missed the opening two games of the season due to injury.

The same source also said that Everton had now carried out monitoring to watch the Dutch winger playing at PSV, Cody Gakpo. PSV itself is said to only be able to sell Gakpo if they are defeated by Rangers in the second leg of the Champions League qualifier next Wednesday.

Previously, Gakpo had been linked with Manchester United. However, Everton may be a more realistic destination for a player who has a lot in common with Richarlison.
