Chelsea had several bids turned down for Gordon in the summer with the Toffees unwilling to cut ties with their star man.
The Blues failed to land Gordon but reports suggest that they have made Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar a priority instead.
And Tottenham are set to finally complete a permanent deal for Dejan Kulusevski.
Kuluvsevski, 22 has shun since he joined Spurs in January following an 18-month loan deal with Juventus.
But the winger could miss the North London derby this weekend with a hamstring injury.
Nkunku had secret Chelsea medical
French hot-shot Christopher Nkunku reportedly had a secret medical with Chelsea in the summer – but his move to Stamford Bridge failed to materialise.
Bild (via Fussball News) reveal that the RB Leipzig star underwent the fitness formalities with officials from the Premier League club.
However, the Blues were unable to proceed with the signing as intended as the forward’s £53m release fee cannot be triggered until next year.
Todd Boehly was keen to still make the deal happen, but the Leipzig were demanding a significantly higher transfer fee.
Chelsea are now expected to revive their interest in 2023 – but will face competition from elsewhere.
