Chelsea are believed to be closing in on Everton winger Anthony Gordon.

The 21-year-old is the star man at Everton, and the Toffees winger is being chased by Chelsea.

Chelsea have already seen a bid of £40m rejected by Everton for the young winger who’s very keen on joining Chelsea.

Reports claim Chelsea are preparing a new bid that could sum up to £60m.

Paul Merson has reacted to the Anthony Gordon situation, and he has told the young winger to follow his heart.

Paul Merson also warned that Gordon could see his game time and consequently his career struggle at Chelsea.

“This transfer window is going to be a hard one for Anthony Gordon,” Merson told Sportskeeda.

“He’s Everton’s superstar, in a sense, and he’s got his head turned.

“I think he’ll leave for Chelsea tomorrow morning if he has the chance. But I don’t think he’d play for them anywhere near as often as he could for Everton.

“Anthony Gordon’s a hero at Everton. He’ll play every week, and he’ll be a big fish in a small pond. Will he go to Chelsea to sit on the bench and not play? In a few years, we might be sitting here saying, ‘What happened to that Gordon?’

“On the other hand, he’d probably earn triple the wages at Chelsea. If he turns the move down, will he ever get another chance to play for them? This is an incredibly difficult decision. Don’t go by the money, go with your heart.”
