Everton are working on a deal to bring Jean-Phillipe Gbamin to the club and remain in talks with his club Mainz.

The Blues want a replacement for Idrissa Gueye who left for Paris Saint Germain this week and have identified the Ivory Coast international as a player they would like to bring to Goodison.

Everton have also been weighing up a move for Southampton's Mario Lemina – valued at £20m - but appears the Blues are focused on 23-year-old Gbamin for now.

However talk of a deal having been agreed with Mainz, and arrangements for a medical put in place, is understood to be premature.

Bundesliga outfit Mainz, it is believed, are holding out for a fee of at least £25m and negotiations with Everton are on-going.

The Blues, meanwhile, are progressing a deal to bring Moise Kean to Goodison.

The Juventus teenager is on course to join the Blues in a move which could cost an initial £27m.

And Everton remain confident the 19-year-old's move will be wrapped up towards the end of the week as final details are ironed out before the player would fly in to undergo a medical and put pen to paper.
