Earlier in the summer, Spurs tried to sign him in a package deal with Richarlison, but he wasn't for sale at that time. The club did not submit a formal bid.

In the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Gordon has started both of the Toffees' first two games of the season, playing as a false number nine.

£40m for a 21-year-old who has played 51 times in the Premier League? He's not set the heather on fire yet.

Gordon has scored four goals in the premier league.

It was his free-kick that led to the tying goal against the Blues.

A 21-year-old who has played 51 times in the premier league is worth 40 million dollars. The heather isn't on fire yet.

He's quick enough to dribble. I don't think he goes to ground too easily but that's a lot of money for someone who's only played 50 games. It's not yelling at you when you watch him play.

Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital have been at the helm of the Stamford Bridge for the first time this summer, and have made a lot of changes.

Jamie Carragher is a Sky Sports commentator.

"It's a lot of money for a young player who is just coming onto the scene, but I don't see how the club would accept that." They are lacking attacking players at the moment.

He is the biggest hope for the club. The supporters are able to hear atEverton. They have lost their first two games of the season. They can't let him go because they need attacking players.

He is the one fan who is hanging their hats on. It would have to be a lot higher than that if that were to happen.

Where would Gordon fit in at Chelsea?

Karen Carney works for Sky sports.

It's been said that Christian Pulisic would be a good replacement for one of them. He is an English talent and that is the sort of recruitment they have gone for.

Some young and experienced players are what they're looking for. He's not the type of player or answer that's been spoken about when it comes to getting in a recognised center forward.
