Everton reject bid from Chelsea for key forward

Chelsea have had a bid in the region of £45m for Anthony Gordon turned down by Everton.

The 21-year-old attacker is highly rated at the club after making his Premier League debut in January 2020 and impressing during his time on Merseyside.

Gordon, who scored four goals for the Toffees in the league last season, played in both of Everton's Premier League defeats in recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Premier League champions Manchester City have bolstered their defensive options by signing 21-year-old left-back Sergio Gomez from Anderlecht for £11m.
