Everton are eyeing Tino Anjorin with Frank Lampard now keen to engineer a reunion with the Chelsea star this summer.
The Toffees have been linked with a whole raft of Chelsea players this summer, which maybe isn’t a shock given Lampard’s position at Goodison Park.
Levi Colwill, Billy Gilmour, Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja are just some of the Chelsea talents linked with Everton.
There is now another name in the frame though as midfielder Anjorin is now being touted for a move to Goodison Park.
Everton are eyeing Tino Anjorin
90Min report that Everton are considering a move to sign Anjorin this summer.
It’s stated that Everton are pushing to sign Anjorin on a permanent basis from Chelsea, but the Blues would prefer a loan deal.
Chelsea seemingly still have high hopes for Anjorin, who is interested in making the move to Goodison Park.
Anjorin is an attacking midfield player and may emerge as a real alternative to Wolverhampton Wanderers ace Morgan Gibbs-White.
Everton have failed to tempt Wolves into selling Gibbs-White so far and that may mean Everton look elsewhere with a move for Anjorin.
The 20-year-old has come up through the Chelsea ranks having first joined the club back in 2008.
The England youth international has played five times for Chelsea’s first team but spent last season away from the club.
Anjorin first headed off to Russia with Lokomotiv Moscow before spending the second half of the season with Huddersfield Town.
A key first-team role at Chelsea seems unlikely this coming season and Everton could offer a greater platform.
Lampard gave Anjorin his first-team debut at Chelsea and has previously spoken very highly of the youngster.
Lampard hailed Anjorin for having ‘real ability’ whilst praising his ability to drive with the ball and keep possession with his physicality.
Anjorin may well be interested in joining forces with Lampard again, but Chelsea will have to budge on a permanent deal.
