As the summer transfer window is set to open in a few days, Chelsea are on a mission to bolster their attack.
The Blues are being linked to a number of wingers as they look to strengthen their attack ahead of the next Premier League season.
Enzo Maresca’s team has previously been linked to Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund, Alejandro Garnacho of Manchester United, and Rafael Leao of AC Milan.
And now, Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon is the latest name to be linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
Interestingly, Chelsea have tried to bring in Anthony Gordon in the past, and it looks like the Newcastle United attacker is a player who is still on their radar.
According to The i Paper, Chelsea and London rivals Arsenal are both interested in signing Gordon from Newcastle.

The 24-year-old will not come cheap, though, with the same outlet claiming that he has a price tag of around £80m.
Since moving to Newcastle United from Everton in 2023, Gordon has made a name for himself as one of the most exciting players in the Premier League.
This season, the Englishman has not been as productive as he was during the previous campaign, but Newcastle supporters will still be satisfied with his contribution, especially if it helps the club get into the UEFA Champions League next term.
It is also worth noting that Chelsea had previously tried to sign Gordon earlier when Thomas Tuchel was at the helm in 2022.
Speaking about the failed transfer, Gordon previously told TNT Sports, “It was quite close to be honest. I was desperate to go at the time and work with him, especially.”
“I felt like my style would suit his style of play, the way he was playing at Chelsea which was very exciting for me.”
