The Athletic reports that they are keenly interested in Newcastle United winger Antony Gordon and a move is not dependent on Champions League qualification.
Chelsea plan to change their recruitment policy this summer, prioritising a move for Premier League-proven players, which makes Gordon an ideal target.
His ability to run in-behind defences — a trait Chelsea have lacked this season — makes a move more appealing.
