Chelsea have seen a formal offer for Everton youngster Anthony Gordon rejected.
It now remains to be seen whether the London club return with an improved offer for the Toffees player, who would give consideration to a switch to the capital.
Chelsea made a bid of around £45million on Monday that was turned down by Everton.
The Merseyside club value Gordon at a minimum of £50million and will not consider offers below that mark.
The Stamford Bridge club first held talks over a move for Gordon over the weekend before tabling their bid on Monday.
