Everton could be handed a boost in their efforts to lure Conor Gallagher to Goodison Park after reports that Chelsea could offload the England international.
The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the midfielder during Frank Lampard's tenure in L4. Now, according to the Evening Standard, the Londoners are looking to allow eight players to leave Stamford Bridge in a bid to lighten their squad from 33 members to 25 - and that includes Gallagher.
The 23-year-old spent a successful loan at Crystal Palace during the 2021-22 Premier League campaign and before the current season kicked off was wanted by Lampard. But the then Everton boss always knew Gallagher wanted to remain at Chelsea.
