EVERTON are lining up a summer swoop for Celtic winger James Forrest.

And boss Roberto Martinez remains keen to bring Dundee United star kid Andrew Robertson to Merseyside.

The Spaniard has drawn up a list of potential close-season transfer targets with Forrest and Robertson on it.

Everton fear they may lose on-loan Barcelona starlet Gerard Deulofeu at the end of the season , with the Nou Camp kid keen on a return to La Liga.

That could see the Goodison club try to replace him with Forrest, valued at around £7million by Celtic.

Martinez has received glowing reports from the club’s Scottish scouts about the Hoops wide man.

Forrest’s campaign has been plagued by injury but Lennon rates the 22-year-old highly, having given him a debut four years ago.

Now a regular in Gordon Strachan’s national squad, Forrest still has two and a half years on his Parkhead contract and Lennon will be desperate not to lose one of the country’s most talented young players.

But with Everton willing to spend big in the summer, the Premiership champions might not be able to resist Martinez’s advances.

Tannadice defender Robertson is also still on Martinez’s radar.

The Goodison Park gaffer watched the highly-rated full-back in action back in January but a bid failed to materialise.

Robertson was playing for Queen’s Park in Scottish football’s bottom tier last season before United gaffer Jackie McNamara swooped for the 19-year-old.
