Everton are closing in on a £30m deal to sign a Chelsea player who arrived at Stamford Bridge just last summer, according to reports.
The Toffees have entered negotiations with Chelsea over the potential transfer, which could see the player make a swift exit after only one season in West London.
While the identity of the player remains undisclosed, sources suggest the move is part of Chelsea's strategy to balance their squad and finances following a busy transfer window.
Why Everton Are Pushing for the Deal
Everton, under new management, are keen to bolster their squad ahead of the new Premier League season. The £30m signing would represent a significant investment as they aim to climb the table after a turbulent campaign last year.
The player in question is believed to fit Everton's tactical requirements, offering versatility and experience in the Premier League.
Chelsea's Summer Clearout Continues
Chelsea have been active in both incoming and outgoing transfers this summer, with several high-profile departures already confirmed. This potential £30m sale aligns with their broader strategy of streamlining the squad under manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues are also reportedly eyeing further reinforcements, meaning more exits could follow as they look to comply with financial regulations.
What This Means for Both Clubs
- For Everton: A statement signing that demonstrates ambition under their new setup.
- For Chelsea: Another step in reshaping their squad while generating funds for future targets.
Fans of both clubs will be watching closely as negotiations progress, with an official announcement expected in the coming days.
