Chelsea offer for Gordon not good enough, claims Celtic boss Rodgers

The Blues are in the market for a new goalkeeper as Asmir Begovic seeks an exit, but the Scottish champions insist there number one is not for sale

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has warned Chelsea that their opening offer for Craig Gordon fell well short of the club’s valuation.

The Blues are looking to bolster their goalkeeping ranks during the January transfer window, as Asmir Begovic seeks a move elsewhere.

Thibaut Courtois remains a rumoured target for La Liga giants Real Madrid, making it even more important to bring cover on board.

Scotland international Gordon has been identified as a top target, but Celtic have no interest in selling and have been quick to rebuff a bid reported to have been around the £3 million mark.
