Chelsea could offer fringe players to Everton as Anthony Gordon's transfer stance is revealed

Chelsea could offer their fringe players to Everton as part of a deal for Anthony Gordon, with the player keen on the move to Stamford Bridge, according to reports.

The Blues have already seen two bids turned down by the Toffees for Gordon, the latest worth £45 million, with Frank Lampard keen to keep him as part of his squad this season.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is keen to bring in young players this summer as part of his rebuild, with Gordon the latest on the list.

“We need to make sure we have a new generation to take over in the next few years but the guys are strong, that is why they have our trust,” Tuchel revealed earlier in the transfer window. 

“Yes, there needs to be a balance."

Carney Chukwuemeka and Gabriel Slonina have already joined the Blues as part of the young revolution under Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Chelsea are also set to announce the signing of 19-year-old Cesare Casadei from Inter Milan after agreeing a fee to sign the midfielder.

And it appears that Chelsea want Gordon to be the next in line to come through the door at Stamford Bridge this summer.

It has now been revealed that the Blues have a trick up their sleeve to try and convince Everton to sell the winger.

According to Nizaar Kinsella of The Evening Standard, Everton have insisted that Gordon is not for sale but Chelsea could now offer several fringe players to the Toffees.

The Blues are hopeful that this will change Everton’s stance on the sale, with Lampard’s side in the market for attacking players this summer.

Everton have previously been linked with moves for Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, Billy Gilmour, Ross Barkley and Michy Batshuayi this summer.

Chelsea could look to offer one or more of these players on permanent deals, with a cap on the amount of players allowed on loan between Premier League clubs.

Furthermore, Chelsea are hopeful that Gordon’s stance on the transfer could convince Everton to let their youngster depart this summer.

As reported by Matt Law of The Telegraph, Gordon wants to join Chelsea and is waiting in hope to see if they will make a new bdi to sign him.

Chelsea hope that the desire of the player will help them seal a deal for the 21-year-old, with Everton so far unwilling to sell.

It remains to be seen as to whether Gordon will end the transfer window as a Chelsea player but the Blues are hopeful of a move.
