Everton are ‘pretty likely’ to secure a deal for Michy Batshuayi, according to transfer insider Dean Jones, with a Chelsea double swoop for the Belgian and Ross Barkley also tipped.
Frank Lampard is keen to add goals and creativity to his side following the £50million sale of Richarlison to Tottenham earlier this summer. The Brazilian scored 10 and assisted five of Everton’s 43 goals last season, including six in the final nine games.
The Toffees boss hopes to use the momentum of two recent incomings - Ruben Vinagre and Dwight McNeil in the past week - to further strengthen a squad that flirted with relegation last season. And links to Batshuayi and Barkley suggest he is hoping to utilise his Chelsea connections to secure deals.
