Chelsea fans have been left puzzled after reports linking them to the £60million signing of Everton winger Anthony Gordon emerged.
As reported by Sportsmail, the Blues have had four approaches for Gordon knocked back by Everton but the Londoners are continuing to test Everton’s resolve to hang onto their academy product.
Having had a £45m plus £5m add-ons proposal rebuffed, Chelsea are now willing to offer a guaranteed £50m with a further £10m in add-ons for the 21 year-old.
Chelsea fans took to social media to vent their frustration and many believe Callum Hudson-Odoi is a better player than Gordon.
One fan tweeted: '#CFC signing Anthony Gordon from Everton for £60m whilst Callum Hudson-Odoi grows restless on the bench is bizarre from Chelsea. A ludicrous amount of money being spent, and a waste of talent wanting to leave.'
Another wrote: 'Chelsea could save their £60m and give Gordon’s game time to Hudson-Odoi. Odoi is a much much better player.
'Same way they could have saved £100m and given Lukaku’s minutes to Tammy.'
'Don't sign Gordon! He has only 4 league goals last season, Odoi has 4 league goals in 5 years, keep him even if he's not performing!' a third Chelsea fan said.
A fourth fan mirrored similar views as he wrote: 'Chelsea are mad. Hudson-Odoi & Barkley are literally better than Gordon and play zero minutes, why do they need Gordon.'
A move to Chelsea will hand Gordon the chance to play Champions League football and boost his England senior prospects, having worn the Three Lions from under-18 up to under-21 level.
Should the signing go through before next Thursday's deadline, he would become Chelsea's sixth summer signing after Marc Cucurella, Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Carney Chukwuemeka, Cesare Casdei and Gabriel Slonina.
Thomas Tuchel's side slumped to a 3-0 defeat to Leeds over the weekend but they will be hopeful of returning to winning ways when they face Leicester on Saturday.

as Chelsea is a competitive team it is likely that there is 60 matches to play so definitely injury can come so we will be needing replacement

Brother but we literally have the best youth teams in England and then sell all our gems to other clubs because they aren’t given the time. I hope he doesn’t but I can see Gordon come in and flop and the same people calling for Gordon are going to get on tuchels back about cho. Also what’s the point of Gordon if we already brought sterling in the same position ? We need a number 9 ffs

what thing about German tackics is strength and high rated working rate. Ruben has it more than ziyech, Odoi and pulisic. We supposed to win Fa cup and carabao cup if not for pulisic and mount but at least mount is a worker. Chelsea is not a place to train young talents tell me how many young talents in city apart from Foden? in Liverpool apart from TAA and Elliot? in man United apart from useless Rashford and mctominey no academy graduate in Tottenham, in Arsenal I think only saka but look at Chelsea James, mount, conor, chalobaoh,odoi ,Ruben and you all is saying he don't give young talents opportunity you all lies. Odoi is the number 1 unserious boy in Chelsea

I think Chelsea management is not thinking well, they just want to spend were its not necessary. we don't have a striker but they want to spend 60m for nothing.

Most of us left Chelsea with Roman....Tuchel isn't too good as praised...many mispriotised signing. You sold Tammy and allowed Giroud go for free only to get oversized elephant that couldn't see the back of your two ex players...no difference between Tuchel and Ten Hag..u allowed Tomori to go only to be looking for Fofana... instead of focussing on Auba, he's channeling his power to De jong ..he is crazy

Gordon is far ahead, 100%
I watched both and there's something special about them, Gordon is good at closing down opponent build from the back and he's also carries the ball well when attacking but the issue here is the price tag. I mean come on man just a boy that played one season not even a starter every game but he's already at 60m,,, hell no 25m-30m could be better. abt Odoi he's talented yes and posses a threat going forward but need to work on his finishing and the worse is that TT is playing the boy out of position, same he's doing to loftus-cheek, Pulisic, James, Challoba, Harvetz and now cocurella, he must just play 4-2-3-1/4-3-3.

I think our stupid coach is having issues with the black, why would you sell a play like odoi, he sold a striker like Abraham, no he's planning to sell odoi
