The news of Chelsea’s interest in Anthony Gordon created a bit of a meltdown amongst Chelsea fans.
However, I do believe this is more about the potential £60m fee that is being thrown around, rather than anything solely focused on the player itself.

I have always been in the way of thinking that we should just be backing Thomas Tuchel and the targets that he wants this summer, he has done enough to show us he earns that trust from us. So whoever he wants to sign, I’ll be behind it. I don’t even think Gordon would be a bad signing at all.
Dominic King of The Daily Mail has a report on why Tuchel wants Gordon, and some of the snippets suggests that he’s a player Tuchel really admires.
He says that Tuchel noticed Gordon during Everton’s 1-0 win against Chelsea last season. Tuchel was taken by his fearless attitude, his speed and the persistence that went with his talent. He saw a player who he felt he could work with.
Tuchel made a note of Gordon when he came up with the assist to Everton’s last gasp equaliser at Stamford Bridge last season, but the return fixture was the decisive one.
