CHELSEA have reportedly been given a major boost in their pursuit of Anthony Gordon.
That’s because Everton have lined up a replacement in former Manchester United star Adnan Januzaj.
AS claims Frank Lampard is a fan of the Belgian winger.
And he is ready to battle LA Galaxy for Januzaj’s signature this summer.
The 27-year-old is available on a free transfer after leaving Real Sociedad.
West Ham are also interested in bringing Januzaj back to England.
