Everton have 'looked at' Chelsea duo Conor Gallagher and Billy Gilmour as they weigh up potential moves for them this summer, according to reports.
Both players were sent out on loan last season, with Gallagher dazzling at Crystal Palace and Gilmour enduring a more difficult time at Norwich.
Their long-term futures at Stamford Bridge are unclear, and it appears that former Blues hero Frank Lampard, now in charge of the Toffees, could move in for them.
Indeed, talkSPORT have said Lampard will look to use his 'connections' at Chelsea to lure Gallagher across to the blue half of Merseyside.
The midfielder picked up Palace's Player of the Year award for his stunning 2021/22 campaign, and chairman Steve Parish has admitted he would like to keep him.
Whether he returns is currently unclear, and other clubs are monitoring his situation.
Gilmour could also be a target ahead of the new season, and Daily Star journalist Paul Brown has confirmed that Everton are also watching the 20-year-old starlet.
Brown told GiveMeSport: 'I know Everton have looked at both players.
'I think they've got very little chance of getting Conor Gallagher because Gallagher knows he'll get a chance at Chelsea.
'Even if he flunks pre-season under Tuchel, I suspect that Chelsea will try and get him into the team because they know he's an England international now, he had a great season at Palace, where he was their Player of the Year; he has massive potential.
'I only see him being allowed out on loan again if Tuchel decides he's nowhere near good enough to play in his team. And for me and most observers, that's clearly untrue. So, I think he'll get chances at Chelsea.'

Nah dude he's not, at least not according to these brain-dead Chelsea fans who think a player must be loaned out for 7-8 seasons before he is ready for the first team. They would rather wish for us to waste 70-100 million on another young player with "potential" who looked good in some farmer's league [Crylaugh]
That's why Nkunku and Wirtz are better than Gallagher, Mount, Havertz and Pulisic

He already has 2 loan spells in the EPL under his belt. Last season he was one of the best young midfielders. He is ready for Chelsea.

if Chelsea won't play Gallagher this season i think committing him to a new contract and loaning him to a top 8 team where he can get exposure in Continental competitions is better
Gallagher will get his chance and if he will play more matches it depends on him to play well and the same way Reece and Mount did and Chalobah also did this year.Cheek and Odoi also got playing time this year

I see another relegation battle next season. This club have the finances of West Ham and Leicester city but clearly not the management.

If Billy Gilmour wasn’t sent on loan this season, we would have played much better. If you guys remember how we suffered when Kante and Kova were both injured, and Saul was playing horrible.

ripe? you couldn't even imagine loaning him to another club, he was the best player of that team last season and you were saying, he will be more ripe. What else did he want to gain that he didn't gain from C.P That guy is 100% fit to enter Chelsea team Abeg
