Everton manager Frank Lampard is frustrated that Idrissa Gueye still hasn’t rejoined the club with the midfielder running out of time to be potentially involved against another of his former sides Aston Villa on Saturday.
The ECHO understands that Everton have made Gueye what they consider to be a very attractive offer and Blues officials are becoming increasingly perplexed by the hold-ups that have prevented the deal from getting over the line after signing Conor Coady and Amadou Onana in recent days.
A report in the Daily Mail on Wednesday night claimed that Everton have switched their sights to Red Bull Salzburg’s Mohamed Camara after hitting an impasse with Gueye who would need to agree his severance package with current employers Paris Saint-Germain.
