Marcelo Bielsa has been pictured arriving at Heathrow for talks with Everton as Farhad Moshiri continues attempts to persuade the former Leeds manager to succeed Frank Lampard.
Bielsa is the owner’s first choice but has doubts over whether to accept the challenge. He is believed to have reservations over a club that has sacked six permanent managers in just under seven years and the suitability of the squad to his methods, particularly when a relegation battle leaves little room for error or time to bed in his tactics.
