Chelsea step up pursuit of prolific 22-G/A star Liverpool nearly signed in 2024
Chelsea are interested in signing Anthony Gordon at the end of the season.
They are looking to add more quality and depth through the attacking unit, and they have identified the 25-year-old as a target.
According to a report from The Athletic, Chelsea have been keeping tabs on the player since 2022, and they wanted him during his time at Everton as well. However, any move will be dependent on Chelsea qualifying for the Champions League for the upcoming campaign.
They need more quality on the flanks, and Gordon will add goals and creativity to the team. He has been excellent for Newcastle United, and he has 22 goal contributions in all competitions.
Meanwhile, the report claims that Liverpool agreed a deal to sign the player in 2024, but Newcastle pulled out at the last minute. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool decides to renew their interest in the attacker.
They need more quality in the wide areas as well, especially with Mohamed Salah’s departure in the summer. Gordon is a lifelong Liverpool fan, and that might give them an edge in the transfer race. Also, Liverpool is better placed to secure Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign.
The England international has also been linked with clubs like Bayern Munich. It remains to be seen where he ends up. He will look to compete at the highest level and fight for major trophies.
The opportunity to join clubs like Bayern, Chelsea or Liverpool could be exciting for him. He is entering the peak years of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a new challenge.
