Manager says Chelsea have now missed the deadline to sign player | OneFootball

Chelsea have missed the deadline to sign one player this transfer window, according to the manager of the club at least.

I don’t think you can ever fully rule something out during a transfer window, but it looks quite clear now that Anthony Gordon will not be arriving at Stamford Bridge this summer. At least that is according to Frank Lampard, who said last night that the deadline has now passed if Chelsea wanted to sign the England U21 international.

Everton were in action last night and Gordon scored. And then once again, after the game, Lampard was quizzed on the situation with Gordon and Chelsea’s interest.

As you can see from the quotes below, Lampard says he is confident that Gordon will be an Everton play come Friday morning and the deadline for Chelsea to sign him has already passed.

Chelsea will have to throw in a ridiculous offer, or turn their attentions elsewhere.
