With the summer transfer window approaching, Chelsea is focused on enhancing their offensive lineup.
The club is exploring various winger options to reinforce their attack for the upcoming Premier League season.
Previously, Enzo Maresca’s squad has shown interest in players like Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund, Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United, and Rafael Leao of AC Milan.
Now, the latest player linked with a transfer to Stamford Bridge is Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United.
Chelsea has attempted to secure Anthony Gordon in previous transfer windows, indicating he remains a target for the club.
As reported by The i Paper, both Chelsea and their London rivals Arsenal have their eyes on Gordon.

The 24-year-old is expected to come with a substantial price tag, reportedly around £80m.
Since transferring to Newcastle United from Everton in 2023, Gordon has established himself as one of the most exciting talents in the Premier League.
This season, while he hasn’t matched last year’s productivity, Newcastle fans appreciate his contributions, particularly as the club aims for a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season.
Additionally, it’s notable that Chelsea had previously pursued Gordon when Thomas Tuchel was the manager in 2022.
Reflecting on the past transfer attempt, Gordon mentioned to TNT Sports, “It was quite close to happening. At that time, I was eager to join and work under him. I believed that my playing style would fit his vision at Chelsea perfectly.”
