Everton want to sign three Chelsea players?

Everton are interested in signing three players from Chelsea this summer, according to The Athletic.

The Toffees just avoided relegation from the Premier League last term, and manager Frank Lampard is desperate for reinforcements.

This has seen him linked with a number of players from his former club Chelsea, and three of those could head to Goodison Park.

Lampard is reportedly open to bringing Ross Barkley back to the Toffees, and believes he still has the capacity to be a top performer.

Meanwhile, the Englishman also has an interest in landing Billy Gilmour, who could be allowed to leave the Blues on a permanent basis.

A loan deal for Levi Colwill also seems on the cards. The centre-back is said to be eager to play regular Premier League football next season.

Colwill was initially fancied to break into Thomas Tuchel's plans, but the German is keen on signing three new central defenders.

Kalidou Koulibaly has already joined the Blues from Napoli, but there could be two more centre-backs heading to west London soon.
