Phillips now claims that Chelsea had a meeting with Gordon‘s reps just a few days ago, though it seems the current indication is that he’s rejecting advances from Stamford Bridge.
Should Anthony Gordon risk transfer to unstable Chelsea?
Gordon will surely not be the only player at the moment looking at Chelsea’s project and having serious doubts.
Indeed, many of their own squad at the moment will likely be considering their futures, with CFC slipping out of the running for Champions League qualification after a dire run of six Premier League defeats in a row, and just one win from their last ten.
Gordon will know he has other options on the table this summer, so it makes sense for him to rule out Chelsea for the moment as he could just become the latest player to go there and struggle in such an unstable environment.

Can this Chelsea project succeed?
Chelsea just haven’t been the same since the change in ownership from Roman Abramovich to Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali.
The west London giants used to sign a lot of the best players in the world and hire proven managers who could deliver success straight away.
Now, however, there’s been a lot of chopping and changing in personnel, with the club seemingly more focused on recruiting top young players who they can later sell on for profit.
For a proven name like Gordon, there really seems little reason to go there now if you have serious ambitions of advancing your career.
Newcastle United attacker Anthony Gordon has been linked with multiple clubs in recent weeks.
The 25-year-old has 22 goal contributions this season, and he has been quite impressive for the Premier League club. He has the quality to play for a bigger club in future, and the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich are interested in him.

Anthony Gordon offered a contract by Bayern Munich
According to Florian Plettenberg (h/t The Mag), the German champions have offered the England international a five-year contract, and it will be interesting to see whether they can convince the player to join the club.
The player’s agent has also met with Barcelona sporting director Deco. It remains to be seen what he decides.
The 25-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to move on and join a bigger club where he can fight for major trophies.
Newcastle are still in a period of transition, and they are likely to finish in the mid-table this season. It is unlikely that they will be able to challenge for major trophies next year. Gordon will not want to waste his peak years, and joining an elite club will be quite attractive for him.

Bayern Munich and Barcelona are both attractive destinations for the player, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. The 25-year-old can operate on the flanks as well as centrally. His versatility would be a huge bonus for both clubs.
On the other hand, Barcelona will need more quality going forward. They will be hoping to win the UEFA Champions League and need a deeper squad. Signing the versatile Newcastle attacker could be a wise decision.
The winger has just enjoyed a phenomenal individual campaign, particularly shining on the grandest stage with a staggering 10 goals in 12 Champions League appearances.
This elite European form has fully convinced Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, who has approved the move.
However, Bayern aren’t the only ones impressed with the England international.
Despite interest from other top clubs, FC Bayern have now presented Anthony #Gordon and his camp with concrete figures. Gordon could sign a five-year contract at Bayern.
The main issue remains an agreement with Newcastle – not with the player. Bayern have clear limits.… pic.twitter.com/u0iRXkmsBg
Gordon himself hasn’t publicly demanded an exit, but the desire to consistently compete for major silverware and regular Champions League football is a massive draw for the attacker.
If Bayern can find a way to meet Newcastle’s lofty valuation, both Arsenal and Liverpool would lose the race to sign the attacker before even entering the race properly.
Bayern Munich mean business and they are wasting no time to secure the signature of Gordon.
