Everton are set to ramp up their efforts to strengthen their midfield options heading into the new season with the club interested in bringing Idrissa Gueye back to Goodison Park.
The ECHO understands that Frank Lampard sees strengthening midfield as a priority and interest in Gueye is genuine as the Blues prepare to kick-off their new Premier League campaign against Chelsea at Goodison on Saturday evening.
Ross Barkley is another name to be linked with a move to Goodison this summer, but the ECHO understands that talk of a return is currently just speculation at this moment in time.
