Everton are trying to bring in a Chelsea wonderkid on loan before the January transfer window closes, with the club stepping up their search for attacking options after Jack Grealish suffered a season-ending injury.
The setback to Grealish has left Everton short in the final third, and the club are now looking at Chelsea for a late deal. Chelsea are understood to have a highly-rated youngster available for a temporary move, and Everton have shown interest as they look to strengthen quickly.
Grealish’s injury has been confirmed as ruling him out for the rest of the season, forcing Everton to reassess their plans and move fast in the final days of the window. The club are exploring a loan agreement as a practical option, rather than committing to a permanent transfer.
Everton’s priority is to add depth and creativity, and a short-term switch for a Chelsea prospect is being considered as they try to cover for Grealish’s absence and push on through the second half of the campaign.
With the deadline approaching, Everton are working to see if a deal can be completed in time, while Chelsea weigh up the best next step for their young player’s development.
