Chelsea are desperate to sign Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon today as replacement for Asmir Begovic who wants to leave for Bournemouth.

According to Daily Star, Chelsea are refusing to take no for an answer and are prepared to offer Gordon a huge wage increase to leave Celtic.

Gordon currently earns £12,000-a-week playing for Celtic but Chelsea are willing to pay him around £50,000-a-week to join Chelsea this January.

So will the huge increment in wages be enough to tempt Gordon?
