“Sell him now!” – pundit urges club to take advantage of “stupid” Chelsea transfer decision

Posted by

Chelsea reportedly look ready to pay what is quite frankly crazy money for Everton winger Anthony Gordon.

The 21-year-old seems to be emerging as a top transfer target for Chelsea as we edge closer to the end of the summer, with The Athletic stating they could even pay a total package worth as much as £60million for him.

Responding to these transfer rumours on talkSPORT, pundit Simon Jordan believes Everton need to take advantage of Chelsea’s interest, and take the money and run if the west London giants are “stupid” enough to pay it.

See below for Jordan’s rant in full…

Gordon looks a promising young talent, and it would make sense if Everton were keen to keep hold of him, but Jordan is surely right that he’s not a £60m player.

The England Under-21 international may well have a fine career in the future, but it also looks like potentially good financial sense for Everton to accept an offer like that for him, and use it to rebuild their squad.

Quite why Chelsea are focusing on Gordon as their top priority for that kind of money is a bit of a mystery, with Jordan rightly pointing out that bigger names like Erling Haaland have moved for less money this summer.

  1. Here we go again!!!
    We have Odoi,Vale,Chaloba and other new prodigies at Chelsea but it’s evident that the manager is incapable of working with young talents.Besides our midfield is unstable without Kante and Kovacic at the moment.Gordon is a good player but we need a midfielder for backup as well otherwise we’ll keep on spending too much and forgetting about the main demands

  2. many “inherited” unwanted players, their sell price will compensate. getting the best and slimming the squad; planning for the next 10 years, if i get it correctly. gamble? yes, but …

  3. 60m is a lot,…we shouldn’t sell ziyech…gordon is not even up to 40m yet…we have enough young players ..we cant waste 60m on gordon to sit on the bench

  4. This coach can’t bring young talent through ie likes off Gilmore Gallagher Charleba , but yet Jorginho continues to play and can’t pass the ball more than 5 yards the whole Anthony Gordon spree Is a total waste of money yet again by Chelsea look at last year Tuchel wanted to Lukaku what did he do for us
