    Posting pictures to his Instagram story of Gordon's bust up, Wilson wrote: "If you can't beat em, join em."

    The striker then added: "Welcome to the Toon brother. Looking forward to get started."

    "I feel like it's a really big step. People haven't seen what I'm capable of yet. I think under the gaffer, and the way the club's going, I can really excel here."

  • Fernandez price rises

    Chelsea's pursuit of Enzo Fernandez is set to take a colossal hit as Benfica try to increase his release clause to £132million, reports suggest.

    The Blues submitted a significant offer to the Portuguese giants to try and bring Fernandez to Stamford Bridge earlier in the window.

    However, the structure of the deal Chelsea offered was not acceptable to Benfica - even though one offer went above Fernandez's current release clause.

    After the breakdown of talks, which Benfica manager Roger Schmidt branded "disrespectful", the club are now said to be trying to raise the release clause.

    Portuguese outlet Record report the club want to increase the clause by £27m to take it up to £132m.

  • Gunners keen on young star

    Arsenal are one of several clubs keen on Montpellier striker Elye Wahi, according to Foot Mercato.

    He is just 20-years-old and has netted seven goals in Ligue 1 this season.

    The French side value him at over £25million and supposedly are not willing to let him go in January.

    However, Tottenham, Man Utd, Man City and Juventus are all tracking the player.

    He recently became only the second player in Ligue 1 history to hit 20 goals before turning 20, the other, Kylian Mbappe.

  • Gusto medical DONE

    Malo Gusto has completed his medical at Chelsea, according to reports.

    The Lyon right-back has agreed a £26m move to Stamford Bridge after the Blues beat Manchester United to his signature.

    And he's now moved a step closer to completing his switch to the Premier League.

    As a result, the 19-year-old WON'T play in Lyon's Ligue 1 clash with Ajaccio on Sunday.

    But Gusto will return to France because the two clubs have struck a deal that will see the teenager spend the rest of the season on loan in Lyon.

  • Morning football fans

    Tottenham could let striker Lucas Moura go NOW rather than wait until his contract runs out this summer.

    A handful of Premier League clubs are interested in the Brazilian.

    But they could be put off by Moura hoping for a £150,000-a-week deal from a last lucrative move.

    Moura, 30, was stuck in Spurs’ under-21s on Friday and is in the shop window.

    The likes of Southampton, Crystal Palace and even Everton are looking at him.

    But while Tottenham will open the exit door, Moura will only use it if he gets the right deal.

    West Ham are reportedly interested in signing Matteo Guendouzi from Marseille.

    The former Arsenal man has become a top midfielder since his return to France in 2021.

    The 23-year-old’s performances have caught the eye of the Hammers who have joined Aston Villa in the race to sign him, according to Mathieu Grégoire as per L’Équipe.

    He has been called up to the France national team and featured in the side’s recent World Cup run.

    Guendouzi is viewed as Aston Villa’s “priority signing” as Unai Emery looks to make his mark.

    However, West Ham’s interest comes after the recent poor form of Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta.

    Chelsea are reportedly keen on hiring Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner if they sack Graham Potter.

    The Bundesliga boss has impressed since taking charge of Frankfurt in 2021, leading them to last year’s Europa League title.

    Glasner’s latest triumph came with an admirable 1-1 draw against perennial German champions Bayern Munich.

    Bild claims the Austrian tactician has a big fan in Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.

    It’s said that the Blues made contact with Glasner last summer when Thomas Tuchel’s future came under the spotlight.

    And he continues to be on Boehly’s shortlist in case he ever decides to pull the trigger on Potter.
