And the former Burnley chief has moved quickly to try to bring in reinforcements – tabling a bid for Chelsea’s Conor Gallager.
The new Toffees chief has reportedly tabled a £45million for the midfielder – who spent last season on loan at Crystal Palace.
That’s according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who tweeted: “
Everton have submitted a bid to sign Conor Gallagher from Chelsea. It’s £40m proposal plus £5m add-ons.
“EFC Chelsea will make a decision soon as there are also other clubs interested in Gallagher — and player has to decide his future too.”
Everton aren’t the only Premier League side interested in signing the 22-year-old.
High-flying Newcastle United are also keen on Gallagher, with manager Eddie Howe understood to be a fan of the England international.
Palace are also keen on bringing Gallagher back to Selhurst Park – where he enjoyed a stellar campaign last season.
