Chelsea are interested in signing @Newcastle_United’s Anthony Gordon, with any potential transfer not believed to be dependent on Chelsea qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
It’s understood the Blues are keen on the player — as they were in 2022, when they were interested in signing him from Everton — but have other priorities in the near term.
However, a list of targets has been drawn up, and they have identified Premier League-ready players as a priority for their recruitment this summer.
It’s understood they want players with top-league experience who are used to the tough schedule of playing in four competitions in a season. They are also looking for players who are emotionally mature and have strong character.
The wide areas have been an issue for the club this campaign, and although Geovany Quenda is joining from Sporting CP, there is a desire to add another attacking player.
@Bayern_Munich are also interested, while @Arsenal_london have tracked the 25-year-old long-term.
Newcastle would like to receive around £80 million for the forward, with Everton inserting a 15 per cent sell-on clause
Newcastle’s leadership stress the need to “normalise” the sale of players, including players when they are at their maximum value and when replacements can be sourced.
