Everton are running out of time to bolster their first-team squad ahead of their Premier League opener against Chelsea at Goodison Park this Saturday.
One name who has been mentioned as a possible incoming is Idrissa Gueye. The ECHO understands that Frank Lampard sees strengthening midfield as a priority and interest in the Paris Saint-Germain star is genuine.
Gueye made 108 appearances for the Blues over the course of his three-year stint on Merseyside, before joining the Le Parc des Princes club for a fee in the region of £30million in 2019. He fulfilled his dream to play in the Champions League, and was a mainstay in the PSG side during his first two seasons at the club.
