TRANSFER BATTLE✅✅: “Boehly has no response as Liverpool aims to retaliate over the Caicedo and Lavia transfers. Liverpool is poised to steal Chelsea’s target—a winger valued at £50 million—by offering £20 million more than Chelsea.”
One Premier League club looks poised to challenge Chelsea this summer. While the Blues are generally satisfied with their transfer activity so far, there is potential for frustration.
Chelsea’s Transfer Activity:
Early Signings: Although it’s only early July, Chelsea has already secured several signings, including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman, and Tosin Adarabioyo.
Future Deals: A deal is also in place for Palmeiras winger Estevao Willian to join the club next year.
Domestic Acquisitions: Dewsbury-Hall, Adarabioyo, and Kellyman have all been brought in from Premier League clubs, and Chelsea’s domestic shopping might continue.
Challenges in Signing Anthony Gordon:
Newcastle’s Position: Reports suggest Chelsea is interested in Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. However, Newcastle is keen to keep him at St James’ Park.
Contract Offer: According to talkSPORT, Newcastle is prepared to offer Gordon a new contract to deter rival interest.
Gordon’s Performance: Last season, Gordon was instrumental for Newcastle, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists in 35 Premier League appearances.
Competition and Cost: Chelsea faces difficulties in securing Gordon due to strong interest from Premier League rivals, particularly Liverpool, and Manchester United. Gordon could cost around £75 million, complicating the deal for Chelsea.
Chelsea’s Current Squad: With Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling still at the club, Chelsea might not prioritize Gordon at that price, though this could change if Enzo Maresca opts to sell one of them this summer.
