Everton’s dire financial situation has made it hard for the manager Frank Lampard to bring in new players this summer. Of course, their last year’s results don’t help either, making the Toffees one of the least attractive destinations for players.Even so, Lampard is eager to recruit two new signings for Everton but must wait for the Premier League to give the Merseyside club the green light to start spending again.Lampard would like to complete a major squad overhaul at Goodison Park to prevent his side from being dragged into another relegation battle next season. The 44-year-old is keen to reunite with teenage starlet Armando Broja – who was breaking onto the scene at Chelsea when the former England defender was still the manager at Stamford Bridge.Armando Broja is NOT part of the Chelsea squad flying out to the US today.The 20 year old is wanted by both West Ham & Everton.

James Tarkowski is the only player they have managed to secure this summer – signing the 29-year-old on a free transfer after five years at Burnley.The Premier League are involved in long-term negotiations with the Toffees over profit and sustainability rules. However, that hasn’t stopped Lampard from browsing. According to The Mirror, the Everton boss has identified Walker-Peters and Broja as potential targets. Broja, Albanian born in England, has drawn strong interest from West Ham, Napoli, Newcastle and Southampton – where the striker netted nine goals on loan last term.##NAJAVA_MECA_6497556##The 20-year-old showcased his varied attacking abilities during his south coast loan last season, and is now thought to be ready for a permanent challenge.The Slough-born forward would relish the chance to break into regular first-team contention with Chelsea.However, Everton are primed and ready to step in should Broja not be given the opportunity at Stamford Bridge.Walker-Peters has become a highly sought after player following his move from Tottenham to Southampton two years ago. He featured 37 times for the Saints last season and even earned himself a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad.🚨 Everton have reportedly made a bid to sign Southampton full-back Kyle Walker-Peters.#saintsfc[Alan Nixon] pic.twitter.com/1FJSEoOg1h— Southampton FC Updates (@TheSaintCentre) July 8, 2022 The 25-year-old handed his first two senior caps for the Three Lions during their friendlies in March of this year.
