Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur value Everton winger and Chelsea summer transfer target Anthony Gordon at £35 million, according to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs.

The well-known and well-respected journalist has reported on Twitter that Tottenham have a genuine interest in signing Gordon from Premier League rivals Everton in the summer transfer window.

Spurs valued the 21-year-old at £35 million including add-ons, while Chelsea are prepared to pay £60 million, according to Jacobs.

Sky Sports reported this morning that Chelsea are ready to offer Everton £60 million including add-ons for the English winger.

Chelsea over Tottenham Hotspur for Anthony Gordon?

In our view, Tottenham Hotspur are now unlikely to be able to sign Anthony Gordon from Everton ahead of Chelsea before the summer transfer window closes next week.

If the Toffees do decided to cash in on the winger, then they will surely sell him to the highest bidders.

Chelsea are willing to pay more than Tottenham for Gordon, described as “a player who is very explosive” by former Everton manager Rafael Benitez in The Liverpool Echo in October 2021.

In our view, Chelsea should not pay £60 million for the 21-year-old, but if they are to force Everton into making a decision, then they have to pay that much.
