Word stemming from the English media on Saturday points towards Everton expressing a keen interest in the services of two members of Premier League rivals Chelsea\u2019s midfield ranks.<\/p>\n

The Blues stars in question? Billy Gilmour and Conor Gallagher.<\/p>\n

The info comes courtesy of the reliable Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, who suggests that those in a position of power at Goodison Park have set their sights on the returning members of Thomas Tuchel\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

Both Gimour and Gallagher, of course, spent this past season out on loan, with Norwich City and Crystal Palace respectively.<\/p>\n

The latter\u2019s stellar form at Selhurst Park means that he is widely expected to be afforded a chance to stake his claim for a first-team berth back at Chelsea ahead of next season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Scottish international Gilmour, though, could well be farmed out once more, after enduring something of a hit-and-miss stint with Norwich, en route to the Canaries\u2019 eventual relegation to the Championship.<\/p>\n

Everton, in turn, could look to take advantage of the situation, a move which would of course see the 21-year-old reunited with former boss Frank Lampard.<\/p>\n

An exchange deal of sorts also cannot be completely ruled out between the respective boards at Everton and Chelsea.<\/p>\n

This comes with the latter continuing to express an interest in the signature of Richarlison, albeit with the Brazilian, at present, viewed as a backup option behind priority target Raheem Sterling.<\/p>\n
