Everton know that a successful summer in the transfer window is needed more than ever.
Speculation continues to grow with news emerging that Frank Lampard could head back to his old club to secure two promising midfielders on either loan or a long-term deal. Talks with Tottenham over Harry Winks have allegedly slowed down and reports today say Conor Gallagher and Billy Gilmour could arrive as alternatives.
With Spurs also believed to be trying to sign Richarlison from the Toffees, a deal involving Lucas Moura making the move from north London to Merseyside could allow Everton to secure a ready-made replacement as well as bring in money which can be used to strengthen other areas of the team.
