The speculation over Everton ’s summer plans continue, even if their transfer window action hasn’t even started yet.
Bluse boss Frank Lampard is juggling a situation where he may well need to sell before he can buy big, which is why he is currently largely being linked with moves for free agents in the transfer market. James Tarkowski, is his prime defensive target, with the defender available on a free contract when his Burnley deal expires on July 1.
With Lampard able to offload around £400,000 a week in wages - according to the Liverpool Echo - with Blues players whose contract or loan deals are up, he will comfortably be able to meet the England defender's wage demands. Elsewhere, there is another interesting link with a high quality, proven Premier League player who is available on a free this summer, as his short term contract is up.
