Everton is reportedly in a three-way race with Bournemouth and Newcastle for the signature of highly-rated Chelsea teenager Sol Gordon.
Gordon, an 18-year-old right-winger, has been turning heads with his stellar performances in Chelsea's youth setup. Despite not yet making his senior debut, he was a standout player for the Under-18s last season, contributing 11 goals and six assists in 28 games and also featuring for the U21s.
The player is highly valued at Stamford Bridge, but contract renewal talks have reportedly stalled, with his current deal set to expire in 12 months. This situation has put Premier League clubs on alert.
Football Insider reports that Everton, Bournemouth, and Newcastle are all keeping a close eye on Gordon's contract situation and are prepared to make a move this summer. These clubs see the versatile forward as a valuable long-term asset for their squads.
While Gordon hasn't broken into Chelsea's first team, the interested clubs might be able to offer him a more direct path to senior football. However, Chelsea could still try to secure his future at the club with new terms in the coming weeks.
