Arsenal and Chelsea could be set to take advantage of the plight at Everton with plenty of uncertainty surrounding the Merseyside club. Not only was Frank Lampard sacked as manager after their loss to West Ham on Saturday, much criticised owner Farhad Moshiri has since reportedly put the club up for sale.
Evertonians have complained publicly at games about the poor running of the club and have protested against Moshiri and his new look footballing department. With the club saved from relegation by Lampard last season they have failed to kick on and are arguably in a worse position now than they ever were last term.
Sitting 19th in the league with just 15 points and only three wins all season, Lampard has paid the price for the poor form. The struggle has also clouded the futures of several star players, with Amadou Onana and Anthony Gordon the two that have been linked with a move away in order to raise funds.
