The Blues wanted the winger when he was at Everton, but eventually saw him make the switch to Newcastle. He\u2019s now ready to go, and the Magpies are willing to sell.<\/p>\n<p>It won\u2019t come cheap \u2013 Newcastle are looking to make a \u201csignificant profit\u201d on the \u20ac40m they paid, according to the long read in the Athletic all about Gordon\u2019s future. The piece notes that Gordon\u2019s pace would add \u201ca fresh dimension\u201d to Chelsea who \u201clack top end speed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the finances, this is definitely a move we can see happening this summer if everything lines up between the two sides.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Marco Silva is not a name at the top of many Chelsea fans\u2019 shortlist, but he\u2019s certainly someone the Blues are going to speak to.<\/p>\n<p>Nicolas Jackson looks likely to leave Chelsea this summer \u2013 but we have serious doubts about his interest in some of the teams being linked to him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
