CHELSEA might have to sacrifice either Conor Gallagher or Armando Broja in a loan deal with Everton to get Anthony Gordon.
The 21-year-old has told Everton he wants a move to Stamford Bridge, but the Toffees are so far refusing to sell.
Chelsea saw a shock £45million bid rejected last week and are believed to be lining up an improved offer of up to £60m for the Goodison academy kid.
But, according to talkSPORT, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel might need to sweeten the deal with player to finally get his man as the transfer window edges closer to an end.
They report that the Merseyside club are ready to renegotiate as long as either Conor Gallagher or Armando Broja are included in the deal.
Toffees boss Frank Lampard is desperate to strengthen his squad after picking up just one point so far this season.

Lampard is aware that Chelsea are after his wonderkid but admitted that he will not make it easy for them to sign him.
After winning 1-0 to Fleetwood on Tuesday night in a Carabao Cup tie, he told talkSPORT: “He’s our player and the latest is the same as what I said after the game against Nottingham Forest – he’s our player and he’s got three years left on his contract.
“We’re aware of the interest of Chelsea as the world is now.
“This situation has to be right for Everton Football Club and for me as the coach of the team so we’re in the same position that we were a few days ago.”
“We’ve had some players coming in and probably a couple of more players to come in for sure that we’re looking at.”
