Frank Lampard ‘targeting Tottenham midfielder Harry Winks transfer to lead Everton rebuild’ after avoiding relegation
HARRY WINKS is a top target for Everton - especially as Chelsea plan to keep Conor Gallagher.
Toffees' chief Frank Lampard wants at least one new top-class midfielder after narrowly avoiding relegation.
And 10-cap Englishman Winks, 26, is out of favour at Tottenham, who are keen to bring in another playmaker like old boy Christian Eriksen.
But Sevilla too are keen on the £20million-rated linkman, who has been told he can move on.
Lampard also admires the way Gallagher shone with his all-round role on loan for Crystal Palace.
But Chelsea are thought to have told the the 22-year-old he will return from England duty as part of their first-team squad.
