Chelsea have shown interest in signing Everton attacker Anthony Gordon, according to The Telegraph.

The Blues submitted several bids for the winger last summer but a move failed to materialise for the England Under-21 international.

Everton sacked head coach Frank Lampard on Monday and, sensing an opportunity, Chelsea want to take advantage of the crisis that has gripped the Goodison Park club.

Chelsea are considering making a bid for Gordon, 21, that could involve sending him back to Everton on loan until the end of the season.

Premier League side Newcastle United are also interested in signing Gordon.
