Frank Lampard believes that if Everton can fend off Chelsea's interest in Anthony Gordon it would not prevent the clubs doing further business this summer.
Chelsea submitted an official transfer bid of around £45m for Gordon on Monday having made initial enquiries over the weekend. The approaches have so far been rebuffed by the Blues, who maintain they have little interest in entertaining bids for the 21-year-old.
The efforts to prise the young star from Goodison Park come against the backdrop of a busy transfer window for both clubs - and one in which Everton are thought to have maintained an interest in several Chelsea players.
