Oleksandr Zinchenko remains a transfer option for Everton with the Manchester City player offering Frank Lampard a potential alternative to Harry Winks. The ECHO revealed on Wednesday that Everton and Tottenham Hotspur have held talks over Winks and while discussions are at an early stage, all three parties were hopeful that a deal could be done with the 26-year-old keen on a move to Goodison Park in an attempt to revive his Premier League career after being frozen out by Antonio Conte.
However, with Lampard eager to revamp his midfield, Zinchenko offers him a different kind of solution and reports in recent days have suggested that Everton are leading the chase for the Ukrainian international. Unlike Gabriel Jesus, who is closing in on a move to Arsenal, the ECHO understands a Zinchenko exit is not pivotal to Manchester City’s summer plans, but the Premier League champions would be open to selling him for the right price.
