Chelsea keen on Antony Gordon, face competition from Arsenal and Bayern Munich Chelsea want to sign a new winger this summer despite the imminent arrival of Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP. The Athletic reports that they are keenly interested in Newcastle United winger Antony Gordon and a move is not dependent on Champions League qualification. Chelsea plan to change their recruitment policy this summer, prioritising a move for Premier League-proven players, which makes Gordon an ideal target.
His ability to run in-behind defences — a trait Chelsea have lacked this season — makes a move more appealing. Gordon has scored 22 goal involvements across all competitions this term, a tally only bettered by Joao Pedro in the Chelsea squad. Chelsea have been long-term admirers of the England international, having previously attempted to sign him in 2022 from Everton.
Chelsea face stiff competition for Gordon Gordon is also high on Bayern Munich’s shortlist of attacking targets . He is considered an alternative to RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande. The Bundesliga giants are said to be confident of luring him to the club, where he would link up with his international team-mate Harry Kane.
Arsenal, meanwhile, maintain an interest in Gordon, having explored signing him last summer. But, it remains to be seen how hard they would push to sign him. Liverpool also hold a long-standing interest in him, but he is not considered a target for this summer.
