Everton want Jesse Lingard as a replacement for the departed Richarlison.
Blues boss Frank Lampard will join the race for the former Manchester United forward, who is a free agent this summer after reaching the end of his Old Trafford contract. Richarlison was a forced sale for the Goodison club, as they met a deadline to cut their losses - and meet Premier League financial rules - with a £60m sale on June 30.
But Lampard is determined to strengthen his forward line this summer, and Lingard is the ideal replacement in a time of financial uncertainty for the club. He was born in Warrington, and it is understood he is keen to stay in his native north west, after making a career with his boyhood club United.
