Everton manager Frank Lampard has already spoken to Chelsea about his transfer interest in Conor Gallagher, TEAMtalk understands.
Lampard has had an instant impact at Everton, turning the mood at the club around following Rafael Benitez’s sacking. In fact, he made his mark straight away on January transfer deadline day.
He brought in Donny van de Beek on loan from Manchester United, the Netherlands star looking for more game time. Alli, meanwhile, looked for a fresh start and left Tottenham on a permanent deal.
Both midfielders have enjoyed the start to their Everton careers. TEAMtalk understands, though, that Lampard now has his sights set on adding Gallagher to his ranks.
The Crystal Palace star, on loan from Chelsea, left Stamford Bridge in the summer to seek regular game time.
However, he has turned into one of the signings of the season for Eagles boss Patrick Vieira. As a result, Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has insisted that he plans to integrate Gallagher into his first team next season.
Nevertheless, Lampard – who got the sack at Chelsea before Tuchel arrived – also knows Gallagher well.
TEAMtalk has now learned that he has therefore not been shy to register interest in signing the midfielder for Everton.
