The Blues are reportedly keen on the Algerian winger.

According to Le Parisien, Lyon winger Rachid Ghezzal is unsure that a move to Everton is the right one for his career.
The Blues are busy adding players to their squad this summer as Ronald Koeman makes use of the funds made available by Farhad Moshiri.
He has already completed four new signings with Yannick Bolasie the latest to arrive in a big-money move from Crystal Palace.

More signings are expected to arrive before the end of the transfer window and it appears that Ghezzal is on their wishlist.
According to Le Parisien, Lyon are in concrete discussions about selling their man this summer and have set an £8.6 million asking price.
They are keen to get a permanent sale completed rather than risk losing the player on a free transfer next summer when his current contract expires.

However, it appears the Blues may be set to face disappointment in their hunt, as the newspaper is also reporting that the Algerian is stalling on the move.
They claim that he is unsure whether a move to Goodison Park is the right one for his career, meaning this transfer may have some time to run yet.
