What The Papers Say - 23 August

Everton Academy graduate Anthony Gordon continues to attract interest from Premier League clubs.

Sky Sports News reports this morning that Chelsea are willing to pay up to £60million for the 21-year-old.

It is believed Everton have already rejected two bids worth up to £45million for the Blues winger.

Tottenham Hotspur also remain in pursuit for Gordon, according to Football.London.

Their source claims the player has a desire to work under Antonio Conte in the Champions League.

However, the Everton youngster is unlikely to force a move away from Goodison Park as he doesn't wish to tarnish his reputation with the Club's supporters.

On potential incomings, rumoured Blues target Ben Brereton Diaz is "unlikely" to sign a new deal with Blackburn Rovers, according to Sky Sports News.

The 23-year-old is reportedly keen to move on from the Championship side this summer, with Everton facing competition from Leeds United and Southampton for his signature.

Finally, The Mirror claims Everton are weighing up a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney.

The 26-year-old could be available for a fee in the region of £50million, with Chelsea and Manchester United also interested in the Bees forward.
