Chelsea keen on Antony Gordon, face competition from Arsenal and Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Chelsea want to sign a new winger this summer despite the imminent arrival of Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP.

The Athletic claims they are interested in Newcastle United winger Antony Gordon, and a move is not dependent on Champions League qualification.

Chelsea plan to change their recruitment policy this summer, prioritising Premier League-proven players, making Gordon an ideal target.

His ability to run in-behind defences – a trait Chelsea have lacked this season – makes a move more appealing.

Chelsea have been long-term admirers of the England international, having previously attempted to sign him from Everton in 2022.

Gordon is also high on Bayern Munich’s shortlist of attacking targets. He is considered an alternative to RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande.

The Bundesliga giants are confident of luring him to the club, where he would link up with his England international teammate Harry Kane.

Arsenal maintain an interest in Gordon, having explored signing him last summer.

Liverpool also have a long-standing interest in him, but he is not considered a target for this summer.

Newcastle are open to selling Gordon and will look to make a substantial profit on the £40 million plus £5m in add-ons they paid Everton for him in 2023.

They are reportedly looking to sell him for at least £80m. Everton will receive 15 percent of the profit made from his sale.
