REPORT: TOTTENHAM AND CHELSEA COULD BID FOR ‘EXPLOSIVE’ PLAYER IN JANUARY

Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and Graham Potter’s Chelsea are aware that Anthony Gordon is not close to signing a new contract with Frank Lampard’s Everton, according to journalist Paul Brown. The well-known and well-respected journalist has told GiveMeSport that Tottenham and Chelsea are aware that Gordon is not close to putting pen to paper on a new deal.

Sky Sports reported in August that Chelsea were keen on signing the 21-year-old winger in the summer transfer window and were prepared to pay £60 million for him. CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs reported on Twitter last month that Tottenham were keen on Gordon and were willing to pay £35 million for him. Brown told GiveMeSport that he thinks it is up to Everton to change the player’s mind. Otherwise, they’re going to be in the same situation they were with him come January. Continue reading

According to football journalist Ben Jacobs, Chelsea have been handed the opportunity to sign Milan Skriniar. Inter Milan are prepared to include the 27-year-old defender as part of the deal to sign Romelu Lukaku, who is desperate to leave Stamford Bridge following a disastrous return to England. Lukaku has already agreed to take up a large pay cut in order to return to Inter Milan. But the Italian giants are expected to face financial roadblocks in their efforts to re-sign the Belgian, knowing Chelsea will be keen on recouping the majority of the fortune they had spent on the player last summer.
