Anthony Gordon is going to be paid up to 60 million dollars by the Blues.

The player is not for sale at this point in time. The fee is the total value of a potential deal.

The initial bid of around £40m-£45m was rejected byEverton.

The London club are willing to increase their offer because of the conversations they have had with the other club.

Gordon's current contract is set to end in June 2025.

A potential deal would raise the finances for Frank to add forward options to his squad.

The Spurs tried to sign the England U21 player in a package deal with Richarlison but were unsuccessful. The team did not submit a formal bid.

Everton forward Anthony Gordon is wanted by Chelsea
Everton manager Frank Lampard says Anthony Gordon is a 'valuable asset' for the club, but admits they are considering offers for Dele Alli.

The club have spent a league-topping £176.5m on new players this summer.

In the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Gordon has started all three of the Toffees' games so far this season, playing as a false No 9.

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.

The bosses in the US have spent a lot of money on several people.

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 think it's right for them to 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?

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.

Is Gordon the answer to Chelsea's attacking problems?

Gordon revealed during an interview with Sky Sports two years ago that he was reading a mind management programme that helps elite athletes to conquer their fears and operate with control, focus and confidence."

He said that it's about how to balance the bad and good voices in a person's head.

Gordon may be in the same situation as he is in, trying to make the right decision for his career. If a player is unwilling to sign a new deal, thenEverton must consider what is best for them
