Anthony Gordon’s Newcastle stance blow for Chelsea and Tottenham
Romano’s claim that Gordon has agree personal terms with Newcastle will come as a blow for Tottenham and Chelsea, who have also been linked with the England Under-21 international winger.
According to The Mail on Sunday (22/1; page 109), Tottenham are monitoring the situation of the winger.

Gordon is only 21 and is a long-term prospect.
Chelsea are also claimed to be very keen on Gordon.
According to The Telegraph, Chelsea plan to bid for the winger this month, seal a deal, and then let him stay at Everton on loan until the end of the season.
However, based on Romano’s report, it seems that Everton winger Gordon wants to join Newcastle.
And Newcastle only.
