Everton submit £45M bid for Chelsea midfielder

VITAL FOOTBALL

Everton have submitted a MASSIVE bid for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher, believed to be around £40 million plus £5 million in add-ons, according to the latest reports. 

Everton have, today, confirmed the appointment of Sean Dyche as their new manager after the sacking of Frank Lampard last week after his side entered a really poor run of form. 

However, just a day prior to his appointment, the club confirmed the sale of Anthony Gordon to Newcastle United for around £45 million. 

Seeing as Everton did need a serious cash injection if they were to complete any signings during the January transfer window, the money raised from the sale provided much-needed funds for Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell going into the later stages of the window.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Everton have submitted a bid of around £45 million for Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher. Chelsea must now decide whether they want to keep the Englishman in their plans for the rest of the campaign.
